In collaboration with Wiradjuri/Kamilaroi artist Jonathan jones and Kaldor Public Art Projects, a team of enthusiastic young composers from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music have conceptualised creative sonic responses to a vast sculptural installation barrangal dyara (skin and bones) and the site once occupied by the Garden Palace. Join us for four world premieres interspersed with short arrangements from Paulo Giorza’s Cantata composed for the opening ceremony of the Sydney International Exhibition in 1878.
