If Stravinsky, jazz, hip hop, spoken word, or experimental improv are your thing, then you should probably head over to Monash University’s Big Jazz Day Out this March to hear Monash Art Ensemble’s interpretation of AAO AD Aaron Choulai’s new work, To Kill a Magic We Got Used To. Aaron describes the work as “a reimagining of L’Histoire du soldat for a digital age”, and it was a blast to premiere it at the Athaneum with AAO last year, so this performance is sure to impress.
