Where Song Began
Performed more than 100 times in sold out halls across Australia and internationally, Where Song Began is a celebration of songbirds. Based on Tim Low's bestselling book and described as "spectacular" by Limelight Magazine in a 5-star review, this program includes music spanning 300 years, from Johann Heinrich Schmelzer and J.S. Bach to Arvo Pärt and new commissions, enhanced by a film of evocative visual projections and an immersive soundscape.
