Event Details
IRON IN THE BLOOD - A musical adaptation of Robert Hughes’s The Fatal Shore
A captivating, award-winning musical production exploring the rich tapestry of Australia’s colonial past. Featuring music by jazz saxophonist-composer Jeremy Rose and his 17-piece Earshift Orchestra, the project is inspired by and features text from Robert Hughes’ seminal work The Fatal Shore, read by two narrators.
Iron in the Blood provides an opportunity to explore Hughes’s masterpiece with a musical narrative that creates a rich fabric of perspective, from evocations of Australian natural beauty to the folksong of the colonialists. Composed and conducted by Rose, the work is brought to life by a stellar 17-piece orchestra, drawn from Rose’s colleagues from both Sydney and Melbourne, described by Paul Grabowsky in his liner notes to the album, as an “ensemble comprising some of the most creative improvisers of the new generation”.
