Death Concert Series 2020 – POSTPONED to 2021

Due to the ongoing social distancing restrictions caused by the pandemic, and the ongoing uncertainty about when we will be able to assemble together in a performance space, we must regretfully inform you that we have now decided to postpone the entire Death Concert Series until 2021. We look forward to a time when we are able to safely experience live music together again, hopefully in the new year! 

We’re very excited to announce our first concert series ever, with three very special concerts about Death in 2021, set in the unique natural acoustic of the historic Norla Dome. 

Brand new films made especially for the project by three of Melbourne’s finest young film-makers/multi-disciplinary artists, Hanna Chetwin, Chloë Sobek, and Vijay Thillaimuthu, will be projected onto the curved walls of the dome during each concert, providing a multi-sensory experience. 

Joined by a stellar line-up of Australia’s finest early-music specialists including Laura Vaughan and Victoria Watts (violas da gamba), Cristina Russo (soprano), John Weretka (harpsichord), Hannah Lane (harp), and Nick Pollock (theorbo), Harken Well takes you on a morbid journey through music related to Death.
