Moonlite - Ballarat

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.

Presented by Homophonic! and The City of Ballarat.

Homophonic! is assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body.
