Experience Sidney Nolan's ‘Search for Paradise’ 
With the Canberra Symphony Orchestra Chamber Ensemble.

Pip Thompson, 📷 Martin Ollman

This special concert program is inspired by themes from the exhibition, touching on ideas of paradise and loss and focusing on the depictions of the harsh Australian landscape in Nolan’s work. The artist’s own musical preferences and the music of his milieu will also be explored in works that span from well-loved classics to popular music of our own time. The music chosen is inspired by the artworks themselves and informed by the context of the artist’s life.

Among the featured composers are Ravel, Sculthorpe and Britten, with film music from Ennio Morricone and arrangements of the music of popular artists such as U2 completing a diverse and varied program.

Join a pre-concert Curator’s Talk to explore the Sidney Nolan: Search for Paradise exhibition (at 6:50pm).

Doors open at 6:45pm. Pre-concert drinks available for purchase.
