This truly special event curated by The Marais Project, is a tribute to the wonderful career of Swedish-Australian lutenist and guitarist, Tommie Andersson, and the huge and fantastic life of the great Swedish naturalist, Daniel Solander. Solander was the first Swede – and the first university trained scientist – to tread Australian soil.

Drawing on the unique insights of Tommie Andersson, gambist, Jenny Eriksson who has a Swedish heritage, and singer Susie Bishop, who speaks Swedish, the show was first heard to critical acclaim on Australian Digital Concert Hall. Limelight Magazine wrote at the time: ‘The Marais Project brought together a series of songs, dances and sonatas derived from Solander’s time…into an evocative mix of folksong and poetry.’
