Come with us on an incredible musical journey, as master musician William Barton transports the audience to a sonic world, transcending time and space.
This is an opportunity for students to experience Melbourne’s premier venue for orchestral performance, enjoying music from incredible Australian artists.
Barton will be joined by song woman and wordsmith Aunty Dalmae Barton, composer and violin virtuoso Véronique Serret, and Australian music legend Iva Davies. These revered musicians will be accompanied by John Foreman’s magnificent 60-piece Aussie Pops Orchestra.
William’s powerfully moving music will take you to the deep past, the future, to the majestic Australian landscape and the almost unimaginable wonders of the cosmos.
William Barton is one of Australia’s most celebrated musicians. Composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and one of Australia’s leading didgeridoo players, William is a Kalkadunga man whose music is inspiring, uplifting, and powerful.
Complimentary refreshments will be provided to all attendees of ‘William Barton and Friends’.
