Art Classics: Metamorphosis featuring Nicholas Pollock
Internationally-acclaimed lutenist and theorbist Nicholas Pollock takes you on a breathtaking voyage into the kaleidoscopic world of the guitar’s ancestors.
Transporting you to the momentous brink of the emergence of the world’s most popular instrument, Metamorphosis explores the bridge between the final glorious blaze of harmony from the late Renaissance, into the dawning of the age of the eccentric and ornate Baroque, presenting the compositions of Italian masters of the plucked string – Kapsperger, Castaldi, Caccini, and Piccinini.
This intricate musical mosaic is masterfully performed on the theorbo, also known in Italian as the chitarrone, literally “the large guitar” – exemplifying the centuries-old human urge to make more sound, and the beginnings of a trajectory that led ultimately to metal.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities.
These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.
We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years.
As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
