Aaron Brown’s Early Modern presents a program of contemporary Australian compositions based on early music sources. Ancient songs and dances are re-imagined in a novel fusion of early music, modal jazz and world music that delights the senses and blurs the boundaries between past and present.
Aaron Brown is a performer and composer with a focus on historical instruments and repertoires, improvisation, and genre-bending new music based on historical sources. Aaron has worked extensively as a performer with many prominent artists and ensembles in Australia, the United States and Europe, including the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra (where he is a current ensemble member), Trinity Baroque Orchestra, New Juilliard Ensemble (premiering a work by Steve Reich), and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.
