As texts are produced live by acclaimed local writers Alistair Baldwin, Declan Furber Gillick and Michele Lee, they are immediately sung out to the public by an enormous, outdoor choir assembled in Prahran Square in glorious, four-part harmony.
With music by Irish composer Robbie Blake, conducted by leading queer artist and composer Evan Lawson (Forest Collective), and featuring singers from across Melbourne; Town Choir examines the intimate and minute experiences of individual Australians and takes them to monumental proportions, celebrating the singular voice through the power of the collective.

“The breaking of a wave cannot explain the whole sea.”
— Vladimir Nabokov
Celestial bodies move the earth’s waters – and we feel those tides deep within us. For as long as humans have walked the earth, the push and pull of the seas have shaped how we interact with the world. Tides explores how the moon and other cosmic entities exert a force that is at once epic and intimate, geological and personal.
Featuring new choreography by Jesse Matthews and design by Jane Noonan, Forest Collective will perform a rich program of music by Evan J Lawson, Claudio Monteverdi, Bjork, Joseph Haydn, and more. Tides will move and reshape you through powerful sound and movement into a new and immersive world.

“Even to see oneself in the mirror, one must recognise oneself.
For unless one does that, one does not see oneself, only a human being. ”
— Soren Kierkegaard, The Sickness unto Death
A transgender composer bids a musical farewell to her troubled past state of existence through a heartfelt artistic expression of the abstract mental journey it took to get her out of it.
The expressive and multifaceted baritone of Stephen Marsh gives voice to the restless thoughts and reflections of a 'self' stuck in a mental labyrinth, via settings of text fragments from the Danish existential philosopher Soren Kierkegaard. Moving through a cycle of continual self-construction/deconstruction, darkly comic/tragic musings and elusive despair, Portrait of a Self depicts someone struggling to dig underneath their consciousness, make sense of their condition and become a real person, all amongst music which is itself in a state of fluctuating stylistic identity.
This piece from Melbourne composer Kym Dillon is born from a very specific experience, but more broadly it is a story of mental health, selfhood, and the unearthing of identity in the most foundational sense.

Kym Dillon Sonata for flute & piano
