Hayes Street Studio presents APHASIA: a night of chamber music that uncovers darkness, whimsy, and imagination in unexpected places. Featuring leading Australian performers Elizabeth Jigalin, oboist Phoebe Xu, and bassoonist Todd Gibson-Cornish, alongside co-directors Lee Dionne and Rosie Gallagher, the night promises trippy wind writing in Harry Sdraulig's Hat-trick (2020); unique performance piece Aphasia (2009) by Mark Applebaum, described as a depiction of “expressive paralysis;” a splash of John Cage's Living Room Music (1940), featuring text by Gertrude Stein, Thomas Adès’ Darknesse Visible (1992), Antal Dorati's pièces pour le hautbois seul (1980) and a sprinkling of delight in Poulenc’s Trio for oboe, bassoon and piano (1924).
