Australian Chamber Orchestra - The Red Tree

Shostakovich (arr. Tognetti) String Quartet No. 15 Featuring projected images from Shaun Tan's The Arrival Yezerski/Tognetti/Williams The Red Tree (2008 Barbara Blackman Commission) Featuring projected images from Shaun Tan'sThe Red Tree

Music and imagery tell the thought-provoking tale of the Red Tree, inspired by the popular book of award-winning Australian author and artist Shaun Tan. In an extraordinary collaboration, this new work will be created by rising star composer Michael Yezerski with Richard Tognetti, Lyn Williams and the remarkable young singers of Gondwana Voices.

Two deeply moving works of art combine in one incredible experience when Shostakovich’s final string quartet accompanies illustrations from Shaun Tan’s The Arrival, the story of a displaced person’s journey to a new life told entirely through illustration.
