UNPLUGGED: NIRVANA REIMAGINED

THE MUSIC OF NIRVANA, REIMAGINED FOR SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

7 OCTOBER 2017

Tickets on sale now via ticketek.

Kurt Cobain: spokesman for a generation. Nirvana: flagship band of Generation X. No one flinches when you say it.

In the year Kurt would have turned 50, Perth Symphony Orchestra presents a concert event unlike anything seen before in WA. Or anywhere, for that matter.

This isn’t Nirvana with strings. Prepare to witness a fully-fledged orchestra in bloom, transformed for one night into a raging rock beast.

Already regarded as “the orchestra that breaks rules” for their radical reinterpretations of everything from Beethoven to WA’s greatest ever songs at RTRFM and the WA Museum’s flagship event A Moment in Time, Unplugged: Nirvana Reimagined will take orchestral sounds to some heavy, heavy places.

 

 

Using Nirvana’s legendary MTV Unplugged in New York as inspiration, which took place just five-months before Kurt’s untimely death in 1994, PSO will take songs from the concert and from throughout Nirvana’s discography and blow them up.

Imagine About a Girl and Where Did You Sleep Last Night backed by a wall of sound big enough to match the angst in the songs. Picture Smells Like Teen Spirit and Lithium pushing the year punk, alternative and grunge broke through, 1991, into the stratosphere.

Unplugged: Nirvana Reimagined will not only take you back there, it will remind you of music, culture and a generation changing forever.

Joining PSO is award-winning songwriter and the veteran of sold out Nirvana reinterpretations from Melbourne to Perth, Justin Burford. Fresh from a return tour with End of Fashion, one of the greatest voices WA has ever produced will lead the concert alongside conductor Jessica Gethin, and no one nails Kurt quite like him.

Burford and PSO have bandied together to reveal their most ambitious show ever. This is a dream event for the artists and Nirvana fans alike.

Unplugged: Nirvana Reimagined will take place on Saturday October 7th at His Majesty’s Theatre.

George Michael: upturned collar, reflective aviator shades, trimmed beard, cross earring. He is the man with the voice who brought soul to the pop world.

Perth Symphony Orchestra loves to re-work the music of the world’s most talented artists, bringing a new orchestral sound to massive hits. In this unique evening celebrating the incredible body of work by George Michael (spanning both his days as front man of Wham! to his incredible solo career) PSO collaborates with some of WA’s leading composers and arrangers to bring the magic of PSO’s orchestral sound to George’s songs.

The works of George Michael have been reimagined with the aim of taking the audience on a remarkable journey of emotions that shed a new light on some of the best-loved songs from Faith to Careless Whisper, Freedom to I’m Your Man.

The concert is performed by the Perth Symphony strings, drums and percussion and features the remarkable WAAPA Gospel Choir led byThe WAAPA Gospel Choir Matt Allen, Head of Contemporary Voice at WAAPA. The evening showcases WA’s incredible talent brought together for the first time in concert. Joining Matt will be members of the Gospel Choir for duets that saw George perform with the likes of Aretha Franklin and Elton John – be prepared for voices that will blow you away.

There are few artists who can boast more than 100 million in sales but George Michael is in that elite alumni. George, who would have celebrated his 54th birthday on June 25th, achieved remarkable things in his lifetime, and this concert aims to celebrate the joy his music brought to millions around the world. Come and party with us!

Thalia is a self-taught singer/songwriter from Perth’s southern suburbs. Talia started writing music at the age of 13. Her love of music and conveying heartfelt stories of her life journey as well as other people’s journeys has become a solid part of who she is. Now at 17 years old Talia has started looking for opportunities to take her music to the stage. Talia is in the final stages of having 1 of her songs “Bubble” produced and starting to record new demo tracks on her computer. Talia is an enthusiastic artist who is taking every opportunity to grow and develop as a musician. 

Lize Bartels is a 19 year old acoustic-folk singer/songwriter based here in Perth. Lize was born in South Africa, and moved to Australia at the age of seven. She started playing music soon after she arrived – starting off with her mom teaching her the piano at home and learning the violin at school. In 2012 she started teaching herself how to play the guitar, discovering her love for folk music and also finding her passion for singing and songwriting. She is currently studying a Music Artist Diploma at WAAPA, and is influenced by artists such as the likes of Angus and Julia Stone, Matt Corby, Ben Howard, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Eva Cassidy. Lize also hopes to release an EP of her original songs this summer.

Jade Diary is the Chinese middle name of Singaporean-born singer-songwriter, dreamer and storyteller, Jade Diary, aka Cheryl Lim, who has lived most of her life on the shores of Perth, Western Australia. ‘Honest’ is a word that can be used to describe her music, just as one fan once told her, “I love how you bleed all over the stage”. Each song confidently balances acoustic, synth, dream electro-pop elements and “wraps around your eardrums and tugs until it has engulfed your whole body”, aptly said by reviewer, Renee Jones of The Music. If Stevie Nicks and Ellie Goulding were the eldest and the youngest sisters, she would be the middle child, a voice that is unique. Her debut album, ‘Mermaid’, is haunting and atmospheric, taking the listener on an emotional journey; and explores the theme of coming to terms with the difference between fantasy and reality. Themusic.com.au wrote, “Like the swift, yet graceful movement of a mermaid, this album flows flawlessly through a saturated music scene, leaving you in bewilderment of what you have just experienced.” Recently she released a new single, entitled ‘Jordan’, and the best is yet to come.

Jodie Boni is a lively, vivacious performer, hailing from the deep South West. Miss Boni traverses country, blues, roots and folk, with strong husky vocals and a beautiful accompanying acoustic guitar. This girl tells a story, not only with her simple songwriting style, but her ability to relate to the audience and foster a friendship right there on stage. She will give you a chuckle, as she sings the naughty thoughts you are just not meant to talk about.

Lydia Schubert was born in Perth during the eighties or nineties; depending on what mood she’s in and credits her musical prowess with a desire to tell stories. She is a mythologist and puts herself in the first person of the song.“But that doesn’t always mean the songs are about me”She emerged from the dusty plains of Australia’s West, playing intimate venues in Fremantle and the surrounding locality to small and attentive audiences, where she cut her teeth as a contemporary poet/singer. She has developed an acute understanding of the ‘song’ form and its potential to articulate that which is buried deep in the soul, hidden beneath the small talk of the world.She was signed up to The A&R department in 2014 and made her debut in early 2015 with the single Jesse, a ballad about the gunslinger Jesse James, which earned radio play across the country.She followed up with This Golden Hour, a song inspired by a dream and using the namesake of one of her favourite writers, Tennessee Williams.Lydia speaks of This Golden Hour being a “magic hour”.  “The nighttime is an inspiring time” she says and this song feels like an adventure in a dream. . It is written from a young woman’s point of view but positions the narrative voice as a listener, so that we are hearing what it is like to be spoken to, held and swept away.Since it’s release This Golden Hour has been played all over the world including The U.S, Australia and Europe.Lydia released her debut EP in March which is available to order through her Facebook page.

Max Revolver is  a new project from local Perth artist David Paddon. After more than 10 years fronting local rock act ‘Tourist’, Paddon picked up the acoustic guitar and started demoing news songs in his garage under the moniker “Max Revolver”. After debuting new the new material at Song Lounge in 2015, Max is back with some new tricks and new songs.

Max Revolver uses live loops to manipulate the acoustic guitar in wild ways – combining organic rhythms, beatboxing and dynamic vocals to deliver heartfelt songs with tinges of folk, soul and r’n’b.  

 

Matt Cal Trio The musical beast that is Matt Cal, along with his harmonica wielding counterpart Chris Parkinson, has been making waves over the last 12 months with slots alongside some of Perth’s best known acoustic artists such as Ruby Boots, Rick Steele and Simone & Girlfunkle et al.

Playing over 200 shows this last year including fabulous shows in Melbourne’s Drunken Poet, Blues at Bridgetown and

RTRFM’s Fremantle Winter Music Festival, the boys are keeping busy laying tracks for a new release in early 2017.

This September’s Songlounge at the Ellington Jazz Club promises to be electric….Don’t miss out.

 

Shameem Born in Australia to a Chinese-Malaysian
father and an Iranian mother, this bubbly
vocalist and songwriter enchants her
audiences with her heartfelt, personal
stories, socially conscious messages and
spiritual influences in her songs. The diversity of her heritage has not only contributed to Shameem’s exotic looks but has influenced her distinctive eclectic approach to music. Her unique fusion of 90s R&B grooves with the melodic sensibility of 70s soul and a subtle twist of jazz has seen her frequently compared to such artists as Alicia Keys, Sade and Michael Jackson. 2015 was a busy year for Shameem, who in the span of ten months released her sophomore album The Second City, undertook two national Australian tours, performed in Toronto at Canadian Music Week, and sold out her performance at the Perth International Jazz Festival, among other things. The Second City includes the singles “Beautiful Soul”, which was awarded 4th place in the Australian Songwriting Contest, and “Under One Sun”, written in collaboration with Grammy-winning producer James Bryan (Nelly Furtado, Olly Murs, James Morrison) and nominated in the international Independent Music Awards. A self-managed, independent artist, Shameem keeps a busy performance schedule, having supported major international artists such as Michael Bolton, George Benson, Belinda Carlisle and Ronan Keating, and undertaken tours in both her native Australia and in the USA and Canada. Tracks from both Shameem’s debut and sophomore albums have proven popular with community radio stations around Australia as well as USA college radio. When Shameem sings she speaks directly to the hearts of her audience; her voice is at once warm, soulful and expressive, and none can walk away without a tune replaying in their head. Shameem is passionate about uplifting and inspiring people to work for the betterment of the world through her music.

Robert Hinton The Music of Robert Hinton is a sublime experience in itself–a refreshing and unbiased mix of jaunty acoustic pop, rock and folk, rolled together by acoustic guitar tones and gripping vocal melodies. Delivering passionate performances at every show, Hinton brings a full and warm sound while keeping the mood upbeat with the driving of a stompbox. Robert draws his biggest influence from Iron and Wine, City and Colour, Josh Pyke, Paul Dempsey, Justin Vernon,
Maynard James Keenan and Porcupine Tree. In October 2013 Hinton released his debut album ‘Winter Sun’, and a second release titled ‘Explaining Colour’ in June 2015.

Segers is the moniker of musician, Stacey-Ann Pietersen. After years playing in Sydney bands, Pietersen crossed the country to spend some time at home. Pietersen has since been writing songs, studying and singing; happily, secluded in the Perth hills. 2014 saw the successful independent release of her debut EP ‘Little Lines’. To growing audiences, Segers has been playing shows around Perth, including State of The Art Festival and The Ellington Jazz Club. Her sound has been compared to artists such as Regina Spektor, Norah Jones and Feist, quirky and yearning, yet gentle and hypnotic, a sound that is hard to label. To spend an evening with Segers is to spend a night with a best friend you didn’t know you had, but instantly feel you’ve known for eternity. She has a way of making you feel like she is confiding in you, sharing her dreams and fears, reflecting on the past, and dreaming of the future.

Ben Cately With his unique acoustic blues and roots sound, Ben Catley has honed his energetic stage presence by relentlessly performing around Perth and WA while supporting artists such as Kallidad, Fingers Mitchell Cullen, Jay Hoad, Nick Saxon and Andrew Winton. With an exciting, upbeat live show, expect grooving foot stomps, guitar wizardry, big gritty vocals and an abundance of passion from the English-born Scarborough local.

His new single, What’s Riding, is an undeniable foot-stomper that is as melodic and grooving as it is simplistic. The track is a modern and edgy take on the delta blues that Ben has soaked up and channels effortlessly while maintaining his own unique style.

Bernardine is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist from Perth, Western Australia. She made her music industry debut in 2014 as a soloist and has since developed a full band show and released an LP. Her debut album released May 2015 has been toured in the UK and in metro and regional Western Australia. Bernardine is an advocate for raising mental health awareness and her song ‘Daylight Saving’ featured on the Music Feedback Vol. 7 compilation which shared the message ‘Music talks about mental health, so can you’. In 2016 Bernardine has been performing locally and nationally, July Song Lounge will see Bernardine perform brand new unreleased material.
