ThirdSpace Sessions: Peter Knight & Tim O’Dwyer
Oct
14
Rare performance by Australian trumpeter Peter Knight and avante-garde saxophonist Tim O'Dwyer in an underground WWII-era bunker!
ThirdSpace Sessions was inspired by improvisational guitarist Derek Bailey’s musical collective named ‘Company’. The idea behind ‘Company’ was to bring together an ever-changing collection of free improvising musicians, in order to create a challenging and artistically stimulating combinations of players who might not otherwise have had an opportunity to work together.
Peter Knight
Perpetually curious, composer/trumpeter Peter Knight’s practice exists in the spaces between categories, between genres & between cultures. From 2013-23 Peter was the Artistic Director and co-CEO of the Australian Art Orchestra, for which he commissioned over 100 compositions and collaborations from a diverse range of international and Australian artists. He also composed for, and performed in the company, presenting his works at international festivals and venues in more than a dozen countries winning awards including four AMC Art Music Awards, the Albert H Maggs Composition Prize, and numerous ARIA nominations.
