2023 Performances

Saturday March 11th

Traversing the void

Kanimbla Quartet will be performing a new contemporary chamber opera for voice, string quartet, and wind ensemble, composed by the Icelandic composer Hildigunnur Rúnarsdóttir, with the libretto by Blue Mountains local, Jo Truman.

Eight contrasting movements take the listener on a journey, viewing the Blue Mountains through the eyes of a wild cockatoo. Exploring the dissonances between wild and urbanised spaces, bushfire and related contemporary existential dilemmas.
