Homophonic! Championing LGBTIQA+ composers and bringing the disco ball to the concert hall, Homophonic! is led by Artistic Director Miranda Hill, a leading voice in queer classical music since 2011. Through performance, regional touring, and commissioning, the Homophonic! Pride Prize Composition Competition and the RESPECT project tell the stories of LGBTIQA+ elders in music. The RESPECT commissioning project is creating new music by LGBTIQA+ composers, inspired by the lives, loves and adventures experienced by senior members of our community. So far 5 works for string quintet, 6 voices, and occasional piano have been commissioned in collaboration with the 5 regional Victorian pride festivals. Homophonic! is committed to bringing together cross-generational artistic goals and having community stories told by community artists. Qiqi Lu and Kym Dillon: Elysian Blues QiQi is a Melbourne-based Chinese-Australian multi-instrumentalist and composer whose work blends traditional Chinese instrumentation with jazz, classical and contemporary styles. QiQi is joined by virtuosic pianist/composer Kym Dillon, whose dynamic practice spans jazz, contemporary classical music and improvisation. Together they present selections from Elysian Blues, a bold, genre-defying work that brings the ancient guzheng into conversation with jazz piano, improvisation and contemporary composition. Originally premiered at Melbourne Fringe, Elysian Blues received nominations for Best New Work and Spirit of the Fringe.
