High-flying cLoud Collective attracts finest composers

A composer’s dream come true; the new-music group cLoud Collective, composed of University of Canterbury music faculty staff, is dedicated to collaborating and sharing new music in Ōtautahi.

UC Music’s (from left) Senior Lecturer Dr Justin DeHart (percussion), Professor Mark Menzies (violin, viola), and Senior Lecturer Dr Reuben de Lautour (piano), of cLoud Collective, perform world premieres of new work on 5 December.

Audiences can catch a number of world premieres on 5 December, 2pm, in the Great Hall of Te Matatiki Toi Ora | Arts Centre Christchurch.

Ōtautahi – loud and proud

Celebrating and championing the wealth of musical talent in Ōtautahi Christchurch is a key mission of cLoud Collective. As Professor Menzies said on Radio New Zealand (RNZ) in an interview before the group’s debut performance, “the capital L and small C in the group’s name is no accident. For too long we have been quiet in Christchurch, and that’s about to change!”

The music community grows
