Warrane and Government House
31 October 2023

This concert at Government House Sydney imagined what Sydney locals are likely to have heard at public concerts during the time frame of 1830-1850. Incorporating a reconstructed fishing song, sung in the Darug dalang and written down in the early 1790s, alongside orchestral works, a vocal quartet, folk ensemble, and Ngarigu singers of songs from the Monaro plains written down in the 1840s, we re-hear music on a historic site in our time: the old, reimagined, to inform the present.
