In his most adventurous project to date, Richard Tognetti takes musicians and surfers to the rugged surf coast and tough desert landscape of northern Western Australia to create a new performance piece at the intersection of music and nature.
Travelling with Tognetti along world heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef, making music and surfing with the locals, is a remarkable collection of artists: photographer Jon Frank, director Mick Sowry, composer Iain Grandage, didjeridu player Mark Atkins and the young musicians of ACO2.
Together they’ll create a performance using music and film to further delve into the links between surfing, the ocean, landscape and music previously illuminated in Musica Surfica and The Glide. Tognetti also directs ACO2, the next generation of Australia’s top string players, in Shostakovich, Bach and more.
The Reef is a co-production by the ACO and Tura New Music, created at Gnaraloo at Ningaloo Reef in May 2012. The program is also being toured to Darwin, Kununurra, Broome, Port Hedland, Carnarvon and Geraldton in July.
