A powerful and resonant tribute from seasoned collaborators. Rrawun Maymuru, an ocean and waterway custodian hailing from East Arnhem Land debuting an original composition created with Nick Wales, a classically trained contemporary composer. Sung in the language of the Yolngu people, this heartfelt ode to water promises to echo deep within the soul of every listener.
The homage continues with the Brandenburg’s vibrant rendition of Handel’s complete Water Music masterpiece brought to life with the Orchestra’s signature celebratory exuberance.
This performance serves as an experiential meditation on our custodial duty to our world. Through music and song, the Brandenburg explores the crucial themes of water’s essence, and our collective responsibility to cherish, conserve and protect it.
In this concert experience, water is not only celebrated but revered—a reminder of water as the constant, vital thread flowing through our past, our present, and our future.
Jubilant, deeply moving and profound.
