The Noosa Long Weekend Festival Presents
Visions of Earth – Southern Cross Soloists starring special guest William Barton, Didgeridoo
Visions of Earth is inspired by the greatest muse of all, the earth and its natural wonders.
Indigenous culture, with its spiritual connection to land and nature, flickers in the hearts of this concert’s Australian composers, with Sculthorpe’s shimmering strings and his protégé Barton conjuring mystical stories of our unique island.
This evocative program explores these primal notions, with stunning music performed by Southern Cross Soloists alongside the master of the didgeridoo, William Barton.
