Resonance was a celebration of song that explored a beautiful tapestry of Australian experiences through a wide range of choral pieces by living Australian composers, featuring works by Barton, Byrne, Crellin, Crossin, Cheetham-Fraillon, Draguns, Greenaway, McCall, Stanhope, Twist, van Tienen, and Whitwell.
The night opened with Deborah Cheetham-Fraillon’s powerful song Tarimi Nulay, translated into Gadigal by Gadigal Cultural Custodian Matthew Doyle. Repertoire included highlights such as Situ Koku by Aija Draguns, Ban.Garay! by Paul Stanhope, Resonance by Sally Greenaway, Three Snake Leaves by Luke Byrne, and a whopping five pieces by composing legend Joseph Twist before closing with Bound for South Australia by Carl Crossin.
