Event Series: Sounds of Australia

Sydney Symphony Orchestra: Sounds of Australia

3 May @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm AEST

Red earth, lush rainforests, unique animals and beautiful birdsong: the natural world has always provided a rich source of inspiration for Australian composers.
In bringing together the sounds of this ancient land with the rich traditions of classical music, Brenda Gifford, Christopher Sainsbury, Nardi Simpson and Aaron Wyatt have created something new, and newly inspiring.

From Simpson’s Burruguu, which explores the idea of creation of the world but also of music, to Wyatt’s Cirrus, inspired by the Melbourne sky on a bright but cold day, these works utilise unexpected combinations of instruments to explore the land and soundscapes of Australia.
