When Snow Melts
 

"A heartfelt and mesmerising story told in piano."-ArtsHub

"Refreshing and even empowering...reminds us that a piano and a giving soul are capable of it all." -CutCommon Magazine

Aksuna’s long-awaited second album, When Snow Melts, is a collection of experiences that reflects all the seasons of life, and how we as human beings continue on despite it - the tragedy, the perseverance, and the hope. Each solo piano piece has been carefully crafted to grace us with a permission to feel an emotion we’ve always longed for but never seem to want to admit - a pain buried deep not yet forgotten, or a wish upon a star for a brighter tomorrow. Collectively, it merges into a river of what life would sound like if it were made up of chords, each note, like a moment, is fleeting yet profoundly eternal.

Aksuna is a classically-concert pianist breaking the moulds of the tradition. Her music is emotionally gripping, sometimes virtuosic, sweeping, and at other times intimate and personal. Within the safety of a harbour to call home, Aksuna’s perfomance of her pieces allows us to discover the beauty and the heartwrenching brevity of what life entails. All of which has the power to heal us if we let it.

When Snow Melts will take place at Tempo Rubato, Brunswick, on Monday, 29th January, 2024. Tickets are $30 ($25 concession) and are on sale now at https://www.temporubato.com.au/tempo-concerts/aksuna . More on Aksuna at www.aksunapianist.com

    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.

    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
