CANCELLED_Murray Bridge Piano Sanctuary Launch Concert
The Murray Bridge Piano Sanctuary is an ephemeral sculpture and instrument park in Murray Bridge on Ngarrindjeri Country, a place for ruined pianos to see out their final days being played by passersby and reclaimed by the environment. More information on the Sanctuary can be found here.
This launch event features an interactive tour of the Sanctuary by curator Jesse Budel, on which he will perform new works written for each of the pianos.
Presented by Soundstream New Music and the Rural City of Murray Bridge.
