Chiara Minotto & New Dynamic Orchestra – Near & Far Album Launch

Chiara Minotto & New Dynamic Orchestra – Near & Far Album Launch Composer and bandleader Chiara Minotto presents Near & Far, her debut album with the New Dynamic Orchestra, in its official album launch. Recorded with the support of Creative Australia and the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Near & Far is a collection of music written over the past few years, reflecting on distance, connection and the experience of finding your place in the world. The album brings together 18 of Sydney’s most exciting musicians and improvisers to perform seven original works and arrangements, exploring the possibilities of the contemporary jazz orchestra through shifting textures, rich ensemble colours and the individual voices of its musicians. Influenced by traditional big band music, contemporary Australian jazz, classical music and everything in between, the album reflects the diversity of contemporary Australian large ensemble composition..
