Particles of Light

  • Classical Music
  • Utzon Room
  • Run time: 60 minutes, no interval Subject to change

It strikes like a particle, but moves like a wave; emanates in straight lines, yet drapes the world in beauty. Light is the ultimate ephemera; it can’t be bottled, only felt, remembered, or experienced blazingly new. Particles of Light sees light in the sound of six voices, in radiant vocal music that glimmers, refracts and fractures into colour, from the ‘light tales’ of Elena Kats-Chernin to the dawning of Nardi Simpson’s ‘Yarrager Mayraa’.
