Moonlite

Homophonic! and The Consort of Melbourne are proud to present the Australian premiere of Wally Gunn & Maria Zajkowski's epic oratorio: Moonlite.

'Moonlite' tells the true-crime queer love story of the 19th-century Australian bushranger Andrew George Scott, in the form of a 90-minute oratorio for voices, percussion and viola.

Winner of the Albert Maggs composition prize, this is a powerful work that effortlessly transcends musical genres to paint a picture of Victoria's own star-crossed lovers, set uniquely in our Gold-rush-era past.

Performed by 6 voices of The Consort of Melbourne: Katherine Norman, Kristy Biber, Elspeth Bawden, Timothy Reynolds, Jack Jordan, & Lachlan McDonald; joined by percussionists Louise Devenish, Kaylie Melville, Hamish Upton, and Zela Papageorgiou; and violist Phoebe Green.

Directed by Miranda Hill and Steven Hodgson.


Moonlite is supported by a City of Yarra Arts Grant.
