Lisa Gerrard & Paul Grabowsky

Lisa Gerrard & Paul Grabowsky description

A fascinating meeting of two great musical minds, Lisa Gerrard’s unmistakable contralto has lent its massive emotional weight to Dead Can Dance in the 80s and many a cinematic set-piece and international music collaboration since then.

Paul Grabowsky, one of Australia’s most distinguished artists, has scored countless films himself but he’s most admired for the sensitivity and intelligence of his live performance, where composer and pianist become one.

Lisa usually rides the tide of lush orchestral textures but hearing her extended improvisatory collaborations with Paul’s solo piano is like drifting with schools of dazzling fish on deep dark currents.

A unique concert. (And yes, the Gladiator theme will feature too.)
