Welcome to Maryanne's online-home: Musician, Composer, Producer.



MARYANNE PIPER



Welcome to my online home.
You'll find further info about upcoming
projects, publications & releases, as well as
performance and workshop dates inside.



I hope to meet you at an event soon. Culture is pivotal in our human lives. It is who we are as a people & society, it shapes our thoughts &

perceptions. Without it, our world would be mere bricks & mortar,

our fellow man without empathy or understanding. Come out,

support live events & enjoy yourself while you're at it!

Till soon, Maryanne

A MODERN DAY PIED PIPER



Maryanne Piper has spent the last decade and a half travelling, collaborating and creating. You'll find the endeavours of a modern day 'Pied Piper' as you take a look around. From artistic output to educational outreach and international productions, the Australian musician, writer, artist & producer has achieved much in her personal manifesto of connecting the human spirit through music & the Arts. I look forward to bringing you many additional creative adventures, as well as new sounds and media, so be sure to check back as this online home continues to expand with the tide.

DUO / TRIO ANTIPODE


Fresh sounds from Australia, the South Pacific & South-East Asia. Duo Antipode brings you current composers, plus their own arrangements and duo improvisations. A second offering crosses genre in the agile hands of Patrick Keith on piano, Maryanne Piper on clarinets & saxophones and Daniel Weltlinger on violin. A truly unique mix of classical, world & Jazz genres in one programme, all stemming from a strong folk tradition.



SMART / PIPER


A chance meeting with Australian pianist Gabriella Smart in Poland brought about this exciting new duo. Two fine female instrument-alists performing a carefuly curated programme of women composers from across the globe, all dissecting the worlds of composition and improvisation, straddling multi-music-genres in a contemporary context. International tours begin 2019.

CROSSING
CONTINENTS

SONIC TALA


SOUND - A UNIVERSAL SENSE. Poland, London, Germany, Australia. I'm excited to present a new workshop starting in September 2018 for children and their parents, as well as student and adult groups. How does hearing influence our mind, our perspective? Why do humans respond so profoundly to sound? We look at sound as a basic concept in our world: in music and language, in improvisation, in our daily lives, in the human body, in nature, in relation to society and his-torical events. We explore the frequencies present in our universe as neuopsychological and neurosensory factors, how humans organise and communicate with sound, as well as how sound and music can be used as a healing / developmental force in different social groups.

DAS JUDENAUTO & SCHNECK



Master Actor Ralf Grobel & Musician Maryanne Piper bring two very important literary works to audiences with soul-dissecting music, improvisation and an urgent human message most relevant for our current times. 'The Jew Car' by Franz Fühmann and 'Schneck' by Aleksandar Tisma touch on themes eerily repeating themselves karmically in today's world: persecution, prejudice, migratory escape, loss of identity. A potent warning to today's asleep society. Dates for 2018-2019 coming soon!


2018 / 2019

A programme of sumptuous music
in agile hands. Stravinsky's Soldier's Tale, lush works by Elena Kats-Chernin & Piazzolla weave silken threads in a sound world coloured by nostalgic arrangements from the world of Klezmer & joyful songs from South Africa.



available AS aN australian OR european ENSEMBLE line-up from 2018/19.
