The New England’s premier guitar duo ‘EphenStephen’ return to the Armidale Playhouse on October 25th with a programme that will transport you round the world and through the ages. Travel from Renaissance England (via the 1970s) through 18th century Venice, 19th century Spain and Austria, to modern day Brazil and beyond, as well as places closer to home, all without having to leave your seat! So if you’re partial to a bit of whatever the aural equivalent of sightseeing is, book your favourite Playhouse seat and dust off your listening spectacles in readiness for EphenStephen as your journeying guides.

Composer and multi-instrumentalist musician, Edwin Montgomery, has written a haunting original score to the first vampire movie ever made: Murnau's timeless 1922 silent horror masterpiece, 'Nosferatu'.

Would love to see you at The Armidale Playhouse to catch this 102-year-old cult classic.

Edwin will perform their original music to this silent film live, using a combination of loop pedals and ghostly distortions that weave synths, violin, guitar, theremin, mandolin, voice and percussion into an eerie and provocative soundscape.

This is the way this film should be experienced. Dress for Halloween and bring someone to hold onto.

With music spanning 75 years and the vast landscapes of Australia and the United States, In the Shadow of Eden is an exploration of identity, belonging, and what it means to be human within the wonder that is our natural surroundings. The program takes us from the initial awakening of a child’s awareness, through abstract philosophising on the nature of reality (or was that the reality of nature?) to an urgent search for self-identity, culminating in a final cry out in warning for our future, if we don’t learn the lessons of our past. Featuring captivating music by some of Australia and America’s greatest composers for the voice, In the Shadow of Eden is an evening sure to delight both aficionados and casual listeners alike.
