Work Overview
I was recently fortunate to visit Emerald, Queensland, tasked by Camerata - Queensland's Chamber Orchestra with composing a new work inspired by my journey. While Emerald the town is distinct, it is Emerald the community that most resonated with me. I think I have never truly met such friendly people.
There is nothing quite like a setting sun over a cotton sea (whilst sipping ginger beer). More, the rugged geographies of Anakie, Sapphire and Rubyvale have been difficult to shake from my mind. There seems to me to be a kind of beauty in the rusted machinery that is scattered abandoned across the desert. And when my Central Queensland adventures were over, I returned to Brisbane via night train, watching as thousands of tiny lights lumbered their way through darkness.
