Extraordinary how potent cheap music is ~Noel Coward~
Background
Pockets is a testament to musical invention. Performed by one of Western Australia’s most respected and longstanding groups, Nova Ensemble, this is a family music concert with a real difference.
A mainstay of the national Musica Viva in Schools programme for the past decade, Nova was a hit at the 2001 JakArt Festival (Jakarta) and performed to sell-out audiences at the 2002 Perth International Festival ("Drummers of Gilgamesh").
Dig into Nova Ensemble’s Pockets and discover a matrix of musical invention - old, new and unimagined instruments meeting near and distant traditions in a vibrant interplay of rhythm, melody, humour and virtuosity.
