Reviews

“Mirabilis Collective’s ‘Shimmer’ was a wonderful performance. The programming and presentation were incredibly thoughtful, and the performances were outstanding. It’s invaluable for Perth audiences to have access to such diverse repertoire presented at this high level. Mirabilis Collective presents a model to which other music organisations can aspire.”

Ashley Smith, Chair of Woodwind at UWA

“Sia’s anthem Chandelier seemed to swing in a quintet arranged by Stephanie Nicholls. Cello soundboard percussion with violin pizzicato and fragments from piano and woodwind suddenly opened out in perspective and expression. Solo oboe became a duet with violin then a quartet with cello and flute before piano chimed in to swell the theme towards a sudden, surprising cadence.”
