Welcome to Hourglass’ choice of the best Aussie chamber music of the past 30 years! Audiences across the globe are deeply fascinated and enamoured with the Australian style of composition. Hourglass Ensemble have brought these works to many thousands in Europe and at home. 

Our music is colourful, passionate, dynamic, and cheeky, and always paints a vivid picture - be it of the Aboriginal Dreamtime, the transport of convicts from England, the space between sleep and reality, or a wild reimagining of Alice in Wonderland. Can’t wait to see you! 

Love, Australia. 

Presented by The Hourglass Ensemble with Artistic Director Andrew Kennedy
