Nat Bartsch & Inventi Ensemble premiere The Glasshouse Live from Melbourne Recital Centre

Nat Bartsch is the 2021 recipient of Melbourne Recital Centre’s Merlyn Myer Commission. This performance saw the premiere of her suite, The Glasshouse, alongside Inventi Ensemble. Inspired by the work of Victorian-era portrait photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron, The Glasshouse explores themes of femininity, fragility, the natural world and white privilege. Cameron’s intimate and dream-like Pre-Raphaelite style of portraiture aligns with Bartsch’s lyrical, neo-romantic playing style. One of the most gifted portrait photographers of the 19th century, Cameron was an eccentric upper-class, English woman who married one of the largest colonial plantation owners in Sri Lanka. She was gifted her first camera later in life, and took photographs of those she encountered, many of them eminent men, in a converted glasshouse at her home in the Isle of Wight. She photographed many eminent men, but her favoured subjects were women and children from various classes in society. Experience the exploration of themes within The Glasshouse in conjunction with Bartsch’s Into the Light, inspired by nurses who served in WW1 and Homecoming a piece examining the #metoo era.
