‘Where Song Began’ is a musical celebration of Australia’s birds and how they shaped the world.

Join two of Australia’s most adventurous musicians, Simone Slattery (violin, vocals, Australian National Academy of Music) and Anthony Albrecht (cello, The Juilliard School), for a concert experience like no other, described as “Spectacular” by Limelight Magazine.

Performed more than 70 times in sold out halls around the country and the winner of a Ruby Award from Arts South Australia, the show highlights the evolution of songbirds on Gondwana, and how they have shaped human appreciation of beautiful sounds.

Inspired by leading ornithologist Tim Low’s award-winning book, this 50-minute performance explores the Australian origins of song, the birds that can sing. Such is their evolutionary significance, one may ask whether human music would have reached the heights it has, had the first songbird not sung in an Australian rainforest.

Accessible for all ages, this work encourages the audience to contemplate the origin of song and the importance of Australia’s rich and colorful bird history, as well as their evolutionary and cultural influences in Europe and North America. The program includes music spanning 300 years, from Johann Heinrich Schmelzer and J.S. Bach to Arvo Pärt and new Australian works, enhanced by a film of evocative visual projections, and an immersive soundscape.

About the performers: Simone Slattery was a 2018 Churchill Fellow, received a Ph.D. in Music Performance from the University of Adelaide and performs regularly with Australia’s finest ensembles. Anthony Albrecht is an Australian graduate of The Juilliard School’s Historical Performance program and enjoys an international career.

Performance length: 60 minutes without interval, including a Q&A. For more information about this program visit www.wheresongbegan.com

Event Details

The enigmatic festival returns in 2021 like a phoenix from the flames. The WOS team invites you head to the heartland to the incredible MacDonnell Ranges for a feast of music, arts and performance. Deeply inspired by desert culture (both traditional and contemporary) and the ancient landscape, WOS is a celebration of creativity, connection and the irrepressible human spirit!

WOS is held at Ross River Resort, a scenic hour drive from Alice Springs and has been attracting audiences to this stunning desert paradise hideaway for 10 years. The venue hosts cabins, showers, shady River Red Gums, epic views, a well-stocked licensed bar and even a pool… Warm days, Cool nights. Just perfect.

The WOS program draws from a range of inspirations, sub-cultures and styles. Musically expect anything from cutting edge electronic sounds, banging live hip hop, to deep acoustic meditations and innovative sounds from across the globe. Live bands, DJs, producers and eclectic collectives present you with a full array of sounds from the now.

The Arts, Performance and Workshop program presents the vibrance of the desert turned to 11! Burlesque, cabaret, spoken word, panel discussions, weird dress-up theme parties, a dedicated kids space, workshops, projections, exhibitions, interactive installations and roving performance will lead you through a land of wonder.

WOS pays respects to the Arrernte Traditional Owners, the elders past, present and emerging whose country we celebrate on.
