Delusions and Grandeur, Sunday 20 July 2pm, International Anthony Burgess Foundation

Photography by Shay Rowan at the first performance.

 

Come for the music, stay for the existential crisis.

 

"As irreverent as it is poignant" (Australian Arts Review), this classical cello recital plays out like a piece of performance art run by a masterly jester blurring artistry, humanity, and insanity. Featuring Suite Number One in G Major by JS Bach and personal comedic pieces crafted in Idiot classes, Karen fuses in a healthy dose of pathos tackling identity, expectations, and success through the eyes of a fool.
