Returning for its third year, experience a mesmerising line-up of never-before-seen works and cross-cultural compositions. Each concert features acclaimed international and local artists, accompanied by Australia’s leading contemporary ensemble, the Australian Art Orchestra.
Discover the ethereal sounds of the traditional Korean bamboo flute with taegÅm virtuoso Hyelim Kim. Dive into an ecstatic celebration of music and ritualistic dance from Sri Lanka with Baliphonics. Reunite with Hand to Earth, featuring one of Korea’s most sought after jazz vocalists Sunny Kim, Yolngu song-man from North East Arnhem Land Daniel Wilfred and multidisciplinary musician Peter Knight.
Headlining this season is a stunning concert with master musician Amir ElSaffar, New York based trumpeter and purveyor of the centuries-old Iraqi Maqam tradition.

The Australian Art Orchestra’s work, under the leadership of daring composer/trumpeter/sound artist Peter Knight, constantly seeks to stretch genres and break down the barriers separating disciplines, forms and cultures. It explores the interstices between the avant-garde and the traditional, between art and popular music, between electronic and acoustic approaches, and creates music that traverse the continuum between improvised and notated forms.
