Together Apart
Chamber Works by Brent Keogh
Together Apart is a collection of original chamber music compositions by Sydney-based composer and UTS lecturer Brent Keogh. Written during the Covid-19 lockdown, the pieces reflect the tensions of that time but also hope for renewal.
The album includes the Hagia Sophia suite, a four-movement work written for guitar and harp duo, performed by Emily Granger and Andrew Blanch. It also includes the Turimetta Suite for mandola, flute, tabla and cello, performed by Brent Keogh (mandola), Katie Anderson (flute), Elden Loomes (cello) and Maharshi Raval (tabla). This suite was commissioned by the Northern Beaches Council. The album also includes some original stand-alone compositions, including Stormfront’, a lively trio piece for Arabic oud, viola and tabla, performed by Brent Keogh on the oud, ACO violist Liz Woolnough, and Maharshi Raval on tabla.
