Inner Cities

Gabriella Smart

22 January WA Museum Boola Bardip

Beginning in 1991 as a single innocent piano piece, Inner Cities evolved into a musical cycle of twelve pieces performed in its sixhour entirety. Described by Alex Ross of the New Yorker as “vast and all-consuming”, Inner Cities celebrates the great cities Alvin Curran has inhabited through a series of pieces comprising the piano cycle. Audiences experienced a six-hour celebration of space, light, meditation and transcendence of time beyond normal conception within the walls of the WA Museum Boola Bardip Hackett Hall.
