Stories That Must Be Heard

This transformative concert of two bold works by acclaimed Australian composer Chloé Charody seamlessly fuses classical music and circus into a single, spellbinding genre, illuminating refugee experiences and amplifying voices that have been silenced by suffering and injustice.

The program features Truth in the Cage, a haunting song cycle performed by soprano Livia Brash and pianist Jerry Wong, offering a raw and moving testament to lives lost and stories unheard. Following this is the renowned violin sonata Limbo, a daring and visceral work that merges classical music and circus with extraordinary artistry. Acrobatic violinist Sonja Schebeck, acrobat Joshua Frazer, and pianist Allie Wang unite in a performance where sound and spectacle become one.

Together, these two works create an unforgettable artistic journey that shatters boundaries and speaks to the depths of the human spirit.
