‘Where Song Began’ is a musical celebration of songbirds, a cinematic concert experience not to be missed.

Join two of Australia’s most adventurous musicians, Simone Slattery (violin, vocals, PhD, Churchill Fellow) and Anthony Albrecht (cello, The Juilliard School), for an event described as “Spectacular” by Limelight Magazine.

Performed more than 80 times in sold out halls and accessible for all ages, this work encourages the audience to contemplate the avian origins of song. The program includes music spanning 300 years, from J.S. Bach to Arvo Pärt as well as new compositions, enhanced by a film of evocative visual projections and an immersive soundscape.

Performance length: 60 minutes without interval, including a Q&A. For more information about this performance visit www.wheresongbegan.com and www.bowerbirdcollective.org
