Work Overview

Taking inspiration from the unique personalites of 18 different varieties of Grevillea, composer Erik Griswold forms motifs on the botanical names - Kennedyana, Chrithmifolia, Paradoxa, Sericea, Thelemanniana, to name a few - to create quirky, funny, and beautiful portraits of one of Australia's beloved native flowers. The Australian Voices are augmented by piano, percussion, narration, and video.
