BCCB4# Talks

Three programs. Countless possibilities.

Three thought-provoking programs co-curated by Burrinja, Yarra Ranges Regional Museum and the RMIT Regenerative Futures Institute.

A special feature of the program will be a newly commissioned work for flute, oboe, bassoon, violin, viola and cello by Los Angeles-based Australian composer Anton Manuel, written specifically to reflect environmental beauty and hope for the future. This will be performed alongside Inventi arrangements for sextet of Respighi’s Pines of Rome & Fountains of Rome, as well as iconic Australian composers Ross Edwards and Caerwen Martin.
