If you’re around Naarm/Melbourne and looking for something different to do this weekend, check out Speak Percussion: Assemblage. This is the latest show hosted by McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery as part of their Music at McClelland concert series, which brings music to the gallery on the third Sunday of the month. This concert features an exclusive showcase from Kaylie Melville. She’s appeared at festivals here in Australia, Indonesia, and the United States and is considered at the forefront of post-instrumental practice, so you certainly won’t forget her performance. See the show in the gallery’s Sarah and Baillieu Myer Education Pavilion in Bunurong Country/Langwarrin on Sunday October 22 from 2 pm.
In addition to the music, you can enjoy lunch or afternoon tea from the onsite eatery, Harry’s Café. While you’re there, make sure to stop and admire the sculpture park and the gallery’s latest exhibition celebrating the works of First Nations artists, including Gail Mabo, Lisa Waup, and Dominic White. Tickets for Speak Percussion: Assemblage are available now for $40. Gallery members can get theirs for just $32.
If you can’t make Speak Percussion: Assemblage, there’s one more Music at McClelland show for the year on November 19 before the series takes a short summer break. Keep an eye on the McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery website to learn more about it and other upcoming events.
