Nightingale Performing Arts Australia presents Myths and Dances, featuring Allie Xinyu Wang and Daniel Le. The beloved duo performs works by Debussy, Stravinsky, and Ravel.

In Six épigraphes antiques, Debussy turns toward an imagined antiquity, shaping music of intimacy, stillness, and luminous colour. Heard in its original piano four hands version, Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring brings its rhythmic vitality and elemental energy into sharp focus. Ravel’s La Valse begins almost imperceptibly before gathering momentum into a glittering and increasingly unstable dance.

Distinct in character yet united by an extraordinary freedom of invention, these works capture three singular voices at a moment when the boundaries of musical expression were being redrawn.

Together, these works move between myth and movement, dream and ritual. Though each inhabits its own musical world, all three draw inspiration from the past while opening new possibilities for the future.
