'Moonlite' by Wally Gunn (Music) and Maria Zajkowski (Words), featuring The Consort of Melbourne.
'Moonlite' tells the true-crime queer love story of the 19th-century Australian bushranger Andrew George Scott, in the form of a 90-minute oratorio for voices, percussion and viola.
Winner of the Albert Maggs composition prize, this is a powerful work that effortlessly transcends musical genres to paint a picture of Victoria's own star-crossed lovers, set uniquely in our Gold-rush-era past.
This powerful work features voices, percussion and viola.
Presented by Homophonic! and the City of Yarra.
