In a culture that treats straightness as the stable ground beneath us, queerness is often framed as deviation or rupture to that ground — something “across the line” that is disparate to the status quo. But fault lines aren’t anomalies: they are structures, pathways, and truth made visible at the surface. Across this curation, we invite you to listen for the crack, the shift, and the new landscape that follows – when acceptance becomes the normalisation of divergence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFault Lines – programme \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMCINTYRE - Feathers Taking Flight\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCAGE - In a Landscape\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTURLEY - Sonata for Violin and Piano, mvt 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTURLEY - Sonata for Violin and Piano, mvt 3\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWILLIAMS - Chameleon on the Wind\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[short interval]\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTURLEY - Sonata for Violin and Piano, mvt 5\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMCINTYRE - Sky-Stained Waves\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTURLEY - Sonata for Violin and Piano, mvt 7\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWILLIAMS - Edge of Expanse\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWHITWELL - Road Trip\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAether Duo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobert McIntyre, flute\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSam Williams, piano\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTechnicolour\u003c\/em\u003e curated by Cameron Lam \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e26th June, 7:30pm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurated by composer \u003cstrong\u003eCameron Lam\u003c\/strong\u003e, Technicolour explores American and Australian queer works of play, subculture, and vibrant colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe program showcases Lam’s work written for each of the featured performers: \u003cem\u003eWe Touch to Feel\u003c\/em\u003e for pianist \u003cstrong\u003eCoady Green\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHeart of Life\u003c\/em\u003e* for soprano \u003cstrong\u003eMarjorie Hannah\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cem\u003e8-bit Sonata #2: BIRB\u003c\/em\u003e* for \u003cstrong\u003eDafydd Camp\u003c\/strong\u003e on cor anglais.
