Lisa Gerrard Tour Update
From Lisa's assistant...
"We are now in the 2nd week of rehearsals and due to the different style of concert that Lisa wishes to travel with this time we have been spending a lot of time on the technical side creating a rich and elaborate sound. As stated previously Lisa will be joined on stage by Michael Edwards on piano and John Bonnar on keyboards.
Lisa has been singing every day and as some pieces haven't been performed live before, or at least not for many years, she is reacquainting herself with them. Pieces from Duality, Immortal Memory, Silver Tree, Gladiator, The Insider, and DCD pieces are being rehearsed, but as yet the set list has not been finalised.
The show will have an aquatic theme with references to the fragility of microscopic life forms and our responsibilities to preserve their enviroment. The "Tour Program", a "Chris Big" masterpiece echoes this theme, introducing those on stage and behind the scenes, as well as thanking those Lisa has worked with creating the pieces to be performed.
Rehearsals will step up a notch later this week when we move to a rehearsal space and set up our stage configuration. It is then that the final decisions will be made: pieces play, order, stage design, lighting and costume.
Lisa is currently looking at documentaries requiring soundtracks to be composed after the tour and we are trying to fit in a lecture/appearance at the Seattle Film Festival."
