Utzon Room

The Utzon Room was designed by Sydney Opera House architect, Jørn Utzon and faces the harbour to the east through floor-to-ceiling windows. Set against the beautiful backdrop of the Utzon tapestry, elegance, intimacy and impeccable acoustics combine in this small but impressive space.

Synthetic Compositions: Music Made From Artificial DNA Sequences

12 Aug 2025

When genetic code becomes melody, musicians and science data collide in a beautiful experiment where musicians shape the chaos of genes into music. Imagine music born from the code of life. This project turns genetic sequences into sound, then invites musicians to respond. The result is a dialogue between data and artistry - where motifs in DNA inspire melodies, and structure emerges from chaos. It’s a sonic experiment that asks: can something scientific also be beautiful?
