And we've 24 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: got the most amazing array in the flayer of the 25 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: of the museum. We's got like a mini opera happening 26 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 2: based on Wales, with an inspired by Russian male voice 27 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 2: choir and a heavy metal band called Man of Art. 28 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: I haven't pronouncing that it might have been Nano War actually, 29 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 2: so that's going to be quite immersive.

He's the guy that inspired the 36 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 2: Star Wars music. So there's plenty happening. 37 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: Okay, Now, the inspiration for all this, I know you've 38 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: been doing it a few years. How did that all 39 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: get underway? 40 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: So we started off as a member ensemble organization really 41 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 2: trying to inspire people to come and see Chamber of 42 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: Music to find out what it's all about and it 43 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: was a way of sharing some of that music in 44 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: a free, easy way that people could come into spaces 45 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 2: they loved. The idea came from the chair of our 46 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 2: board at the time. He's a musician, Sheriff Pickering, and 47 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 2: it's really taken off. It started off with seven ensembles 48 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 2: and now we've grown to eighteen and we've got we 49 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,119 Speaker 2: partner with Nexus Arts and Chasm who at the Elder Coon, 50 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: so we've got some singer songwriters and some musicians from 51 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: a huge range of cultures as well, so it's pretty broad. 52 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 2: We'd like to think of chamber music as music for 53 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: small ensembles in a room, so we're not tied to 54 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 2: our classical background, but we've definitely got a hesky lot 55 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 2: of classical music in there as well. 56 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: Okay, have you thought about doing You see the videos 57 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: of this on social media where people are in a 58 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 1: square somewhere overseas generally, and all of a sudden somebody 59 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: starts singing in a doorway or in a window and 60 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: then somebody else on the other side starts playing. Have 61 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: you thought about doing something like that somewhere around Adelaide? 62 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 2: We have and it almost feels like this.
