Life on Land’s Edge is a musical odyssey to the ends of the earth and back performed by the Bowerbird Collective, Simone Slattery, violin and Anthony Albrecht, cello. It is presented in partnership with the Maitland Regional Art Gallery on the closing weekend of the ‘Twitcher’ exhibition.
From the creators of Where Song Began and Songs of Disappearance, this performance will take you on an epic journey alongside migratory birds as they connect continents and cultures.
A cinematic concert experience, Life on Land’s Edge draws on art, science, and music from across the ages. Spectacular footage and soundscapes set the scene for two of Australia’s most adventurous musicians. Be immersed in one of nature’s greatest stories.
About the performers: Simone Slattery (violin/vocals, PhD, Churchill Fellow) and Anthony Albrecht (cello, The Juilliard School) are internationally renowned musicians, specialising in both period and modern instruments. They founded the Bowerbird Collective in 2017 to make art for nature.
The 60-minute performance is followed by a short Questions and Answers session.
