Mark Knoop presented the Australian premiere of English composer Michael Finnissy's monolithic piano solo The History of Photography in Sound.

In this five and a half hour work Finnissy explores the relationship between two modern art forms - photography and cinema and their influence on contemporary music composition.

The History of Photography in Sound was divided into three concerts over the course of the afternoon with two breaks for refreshments and dinner.
