Overview

Hear Queensland come alive

Discover Queensland through the eyes and ears of a new generation of artistic voices. Journey from Allora’s wheeling corellas and Winton’s golden plains, to Cape York’s liquid skies and K’gari’s shifting sands. Created by Camerata’s Emerging Composers-in-Residence, each work offers a personal reflection on the communities and landscapes that inspired them. Together with didgeridoo virtuoso Chris Williams who adds his unique perspective in an evocative work for didgeridoo and strings, this is a concert that celebrates the places and people of our vast and diverse state.
