Life on Land’s Edge – A Cinematic Concert at MRAG
Overview
Life on Land’s Edge, a musical odyssey to the ends of the earth and back at Maitland Regional Art Gallery.
The Bowerbird Collective – Simone Slattery, violin and Anthony Albrecht, cello.
Presented in partnership with the Maitland Regional Art Gallery on the closing weekend of ‘Twitcher.’
From the creators of Where Song Began and Songs of Disappearance, this performance will take you on an epic journey alongside migratory birds as they connect continents and cultures.
A cinematic concert experience, Life on Land’s Edge draws on art, science, and music from across the ages. Spectacular footage and soundscapes set the scene for two of Australia’s most adventurous musicians. Be immersed in one of nature’s greatest stories.
Simone Slattery (violin/vocals, PhD, Churchill Fellow) and Anthony Albrecht (cello, The Juilliard School) are internationally renowned musicians, specialising on both period and modern instruments, and founded the Bowerbird Collective in 2017 to make art for nature.
The 60-minute performance is followed by a short Q&A.
