Event Details
From the creators of Where Song Began (***** Limelight Magazine) & Songs of Disappearance (No.2 on the ARIA charts), this performance will take you on an epic journey alongside migratory birds as they connect continents and cultures. A cinematic live concert experience, Life on Land’s Edge draws on art, science, and music from across the ages. Spectacular footage and soundscapes set the scene for two of Australia’s most adventurous musicians. Be immersed in one of nature’s greatest stories. The 60-minute performance is followed by a Q&A.
