What do you get when you choreograph death-defying acts of aerial brilliance to a contemporary classical soundtrack? Next Chapters II: Above Below, an uplifting and unforgettable show featuring the exceptional talents of both Legs on the Wall (an Australian physical theatre company) and the Willoughby Symphony Orchestra.
The Concourse Concert Hall in Chatswood will come alive on March 19 with this world premier that will feature three aerialists and renowned soprano Susannah Lawergren. It will be impossible not to be blown away by the sweeping sounds of pieces like Elena Kats-Chernin’s ‘Wild Swans’ (featuring the harp, piano and celeste), and esteemed Australian composer Graeme Koehne’s ‘Just Walk Beside Me’. And you’ll be left moved by Matthew Hindson’s ‘Stars Above Us All’ and Arvo Pärt’s ‘Mein Weg’.
With conductor Sarah Penicka-Smith and performance director Joshua Thomson at the helm of this production, it’s shaping up to be a highlight of Chatswood Culture Bites 2022 – Willoughby City Council’s innovative program of music, theatre and comedy.
Next Chapters II: Above Below begins at 7pm and runs for approximately 70 minutes. For more information and to secure your tickets, head to the website.
