As Composer-in-Residence to The Queensland Orchestra Matthew Hindson is enjoying a number of performances from that orchestra this season. On 31 August they perform five of his orchestral works in a portrait concert in Brisbane. The programme includes Rave-Elation, the premiere of the revised version of Balkan Connection for strings, Spirit Song and Vietnam War Memorial from A Symphony of Modern Objects and the first performance of a new version of Didjeribluegrass for didjeridu, strings and percussion. Soloist will be the orchestra’s Artist-in-Residence, virtuoso didjeridu player William Barton.
On 18 September the orchestra perform Speed with Guy Noble, and again with Michael Christie on 1 and 2 November as part of their education programme. Hindson’s opener Auto-Electric is also included in education events on 5 and 6 October.
Hindson's residency culminates with the world premiere of a new percussion concerto for Evelyn Glennie on 4 March 2006.
