Terje is a pioneer in nature and ice instruments and it is his first tour of Australia. Later this year he will be performing with the London Symphonic Orchestra.   He is one of Europe's most accomplished and innovative percussionists - with over two decades of experience in jazz and ethnic Scandinavian music, he is taking these types of music far beyond their traditional boundaries. Terje has crafted his own instruments from natural elements such as arctic birch, granite, slate, sheep bells, and even ice.

Tunji Beier from the Sunshine Coast is known for his work with Linsey Pollak and interestingly, studied Indian percussion 10 hours a day, 7 days a week for 3 years in India from the age of 16.

Australian Jazz vocalist Kristin Berardi dazzled audiences with her vocal talent & compositions touring Australia with the Mothership Groove Orchestra.

This unique musical partnership will not be found anywhere else in the world.



Some of their inspiration comes from Norwegian folk music, Yoruba Classical drumming, South Indian Classical music and Traditional Middle Eastern music and vocals are inspired by jazz. Terje, Tunji and Kristin combine to deliver us from this ordinary world into a magical realm on Sat 18th June, 7.30pm. Edge Art Space 120 Brooklyn Rd. Brooklyn 2083.



Tickets: $45 (includes hors d'oeuvres, glass of bubbly & orange juice)

Nectar of the Gods produced for the Rhythm Hunters

The Rhythm Hunters extravagant and successful show at The Edge Art Space is now over (see earlier blog) but I feel a little inclined to show off the personalised wine we presented on the night.

As mentioned, tables were themed in baby blue & white, and set with hurricane candles, tiny rice boxes, chocolates and OJ. Hors d’oeuvres  were served prior to the show and interval was punctuated with Madeira cake served by waiters. The ‘piece de resistance’ was the wine. Too often we find custom labelled wine bottles hold disappointingly miserable contents, as the opportunity to serve wine without visible connection to any particular winery is milked for all it is worth. Not at The Edge Art Space. We proudly ventured forth with our hardy volunteers, diligently tasting the wines on offer until we had unanimous decisions.

Though we do not profess to be wine experts, clearly our selections passed the test as we had so many positive remarks about the wines we served. We are all hoping the same team selection process will be utilised for our next upcoming show by master percussionist Terje Isungset on June 18^th.
