Meagher and Bhat - Percussion
Percussionist Alex Meagher is a versatile Melbourne-based percussionist with an eclectic taste in music. A graduate of the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM), he is particularly fond of multidisciplinary and theatrical performances, and enjoys bringing new, unique, and rarely performed repertoire to programs - especially when it presents opportunities to commit to physically demanding performances or embody imaginative characters and narratives.
He will be teaming up with fellow percussionist Aditya Bhat, graduate of Melbourne Uni and ANAM. He seeks out new ways to bring together varied interests including avant-garde music, jazz, electronics, improvisation, and the Indian musical styles of his heritage. Aditya is at home in more traditional settings - whether whispering sweet nothings to the bass drum up the back of an orchestra or smashing out a theka on tabla.
