ISTANBUL QUARTET

Following the spellbinding success of Mercan Dede and Secret Tribe, Mercan Dede returns, once again presenting his beautiful blend of electronica and traditional music.

Mercan Dede believes in a universal language. When digital, electronic sounds are combined with hand-made, human ones, a language is created that is capable of uniting old and young, ancient and modern and east and west.

Together with his trio of young Traditional Turkish musicians, Istanbul Quartet captures the essence of Istanbul; the city of magic and dreams.

Accompanied by a spectacular whirling dervish dancer, these incredible musicians’ explosive energy will make your soul soar.

PLANET is the Brisbane Powerhouse dedicated world music and dance program. This project has received financial assistance from the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.

A Bundaberg artist’s recent exhibition has led her to launch a state-wide Aboriginal art festival and competition in her home town.

“Most of the categories are painting because most artists in these areas are painters, and the main award we have left open for any medium,” she said.

The rise of the Australian dollar had a negative effect on a ”disappointing” Sotheby’s auction of Aboriginal and Oceanic Art at its Armadale showroom yesterday.

But works were picked up by buyers at a considerable discount on the estimated price. A large Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri painting – Possum Dreaming at Napperby – painted in 1979, was expected to fetch between $100,000 and $150,000 but sold for $84,000.
