AFCM Governor's Gala - Angels, Demons and other Nasties...
Start Time: 7:30 pm I Finish Time: 9:45 pm I Doors Open: 7:10pm I Interval: 15 Min
Tonight we witness the light and the dark battle for supremacy on the AFCM stage in a wickedly wonderful concert sure to prick the thumbs. Timothy Constable will begin our concert by warning off the evil spirits with his piece, Last Shaman. Following on from that we will hear Tansman's La Danse de la Sorcière and Brett Dean's infamous Voices of Angels. Our incredible baritone, Roderick Williams is known in the business as one of the true gentlemen, but we all know that there is usually a dark side hidden in the depths of even the most beautiful creatures. Here he makes a pact with the devil in a magical selection from Berlioz's Faust. To finish two of our pianists dance TO THE DEATH with Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. The audience has a good chance of walking out of this one unscathed, but the musicians on the other hand...
