With Luke Styles and the orchestra Le Balcon

Using poems by contemporary Australian authors, field recordings, video creation and electronic music, the composer Luke Styles signs a new instrumental, vocal and electronic piece, that brings nearly 20 musicians on stage. A new dreamlike piece, built around the constellations visible from Australia, and integrating sound recordings made at the country’s stargazing sites.
“The work will connect all peoples through our common link with space and celestial bodies. It will refer to the different cultural interpretations of space and the stars.”
