Earth Music

Come and experience a musical world full of colour and innovation, transporting you from floods and fires to rivers and forests. 

Join Adelaide-based flute ensemble Coruscalia Collective as they explore the complex relationships between ecosystems, climate and humanity. Become immersed in soundscapes and melodies that will transport you from hazy eucalypt forests to the chaos of forest fires and dust storms, and the stillness of the desert at dawn. This program of contemporary art music includes works by Australian composers Fran Griffin, Diana Blom and Christopher Sainsbury.
