Reflections on the Nature of Water

Music and water have many things in common: fluidity, continuousness, yin and yang. All these and more are in a state of becoming over time; from frozen (almost static) to explosive power, and everything in between. Hear Dominick Argent's tribute to Schubert To Be Sung Upon the Water, Tore Takemitsu's Waves and American modernist Jacob Druckman's Reflections on the Nature of Water. $15/$10 at the door

Musica Viva: Amarcord Tales of Love and Murder

This acclaimed a cappella group owes much of its success, and its rich sound, to Bach. They first met as choirboys in Leipzig and you can hear the influence manifest in a beautifully romantic sound unique to the city: warm, deep and layered. Hear resounding and powerful interpretations of Renaissance madrigals, works by the great composers from the 18th and 19th Centuries, and new versions of folk songs from around the world. $33-$76 Bookings: qtix 136 246 or www.qtix.com.au
