Play On presents another boundary pushing series: be the first in Australia to hear new contemporary classical pieces alongside concert hall masterpieces. Then challenge your expectations with Australia’s most esteemed electronic artists serving up ambitious live electronic and DJ sets.
Set One
London-based Australian mezzo-soprano Lotte Betts-Dean has stunned in performances from New York to Berlin. Now she takes on Collingwood. Fresh off the back of a national tour as a soloist with the prestigious Australian Chamber Orchestra, Lotte has been named the 2018 Associate Artist of the London Southbank Sinfonia. For her Play On debut she will be joined by longtime friends (and Play On alumni), the Penny Quartet. Together they will present a varied and beautiful program for voice and string quartet with Respighi’s sumptuous 1914 lyric poem Il Tramonto (The Sunset) at its heart.

Set Two: Pjenné
Pjenné is a versatile purveyor of vibe matched only by those who have been buying and playing records for years. With a record collection that boasts an exquisite taste for blue eyed soul, modal, spiritual jazz and the uplifting yet hedonistic roots of disco, you have a fine selector.
All-embracing when it comes to style, she finds harmony in diversity which is reflected in a range of regular slots across Melbourne’s favourite spots, Lost Weekend, Wax’o Paradiso, Daydreams and Lucid, and sought-after festival slots from Strawberry Fields to Freedom Time.
Beer and wine available from our friends Mountain Goat Beer and Cake Wines.
