About this performance:
‘An Australian Symphony’ by Callum Watson performed by orkest de ereprijs.
This work explores a soundscape of Australian orchestral colours and textures that are then overshadowed by modernity. It questions whether we are losing cultural values recognised by Australian poet George Essex Evans in 1906.
