From the heart of Vienna to the core of Canberra’s music festival: a celebration of elements that connect us to the people of the world and to the elders in our midst. Brenda Gifford’s long awaited new work is revealed in the hands of the Australian Art Orchestra alongside Mozart’s Turkish credentials and the annual Beaver Blaze.

Pending easing in capacity restrictions further tickets may be released at a later date. Please continue to check back for updates.

Due to COVID-19 capacity restrictions this performance will be run twice:

We hope to release more seats dependent on an easing of capacity restrictions. Please continue to check back often.
