Up close and personal | Chris Abrahams

  • MCA - Creative studios, NCCL: Level 3 Museum of Contemporary Art (map)

This February we team up with Dual Plover to present a series of three physically distanced contemporary sound events like you’ve never seen before. Audiences will receive an up-close and personal experience in these intimate 10-minute sessions. Be inspired as you stand just 1.5 metres away from some of Sydney’s most innovative musicians: Chris Abrahams, Del Lumanta and Lucas Abela.

Whip out your phone to livestream the event and share it on your socials using the hashtag #mcaupcloseandpersonal. The content captured will be compiled for an online audience and featured on this page.

Chris Abrahams is a celebrated pianist, known for his work with the trio The Necks. He has equally developed a formidable reputation as a soloist. His music explores the resonating properties of the vibrating piano string – coaxing from its strange, varied sounds that often transcend the generally observed tonal qualities of the instrument. He conjures a meditative sound world that is both mesmerising and emotional.
