Australia's Holland Festival Previewed

From The Australian:

At the Holland Festival, founded in 1947, Bertels has worked with artists such as multi-instrumentalist and Faith No More frontman Mike Patton and installation artist-composer Heiner Goebbels. He says both could find a place in a Sydney program, schedules and fees permitting.

He says he is interested in programs that juxtapose modern and traditional Western art forms with those of non-Western cultures. He mentions a Holland Festival event that combined music by Xenakis with that of experimental Icelandic group Mum. The audience for one made a discovery in the other.
