The news is out 😱

Here’s the ABC News report on my new oratorio for the Adelaide Festival, Watershed: The Death of Dr Duncan.

I’m so extremely excited and honoured to be writing this in collaboration with Director Neil Armfield (Candy, Holding The Man), writers Christos Tsiolkos (The Slap) and Alana Valentine (Parramatta Girls) with the amazing Adelaide Chamber Singers directed by Christie Anderson.

American friends may know Craig Hella Johnson’s work “Considering Matthew Shephard.” Watershed will commemorate the death of Dr Duncan, which tragically remains unsolved, and it will tell our unique Australian story of Queer rights. The story is about injustice, homophobia, violence, police corruption, politics and so much more, but ultimately it’s about love ❤️ 🏳️‍🌈❤️

Wow. Thanks for the 5-star review @limelightartsau 🙏
Fab photo of @chris.williams.didgeridoo bringing our Ancient Rainforest piece to life with the amazing @southerncrosssoloists1.
“Twist’s film soundtrack experience was evident, as the music ebbed and flowed to the rhythm of the rainforest. When the last note of the digeridoo faded into oblivion the audience became ecstatic with cries of “Bravo”, raucous applause and stamping feet. “
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Extremely chuffed to have been a little part of this amazing concert. The real work was done by the world-class musicians of the Southern Cross Soloists and didgeridoo legend Chris Williams, to whom I am extremely grateful and indebted. 
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️ (at Brisbane, QLD Australia)

Having a little yarn about my new piece being premiered by @southerncrosssoloists1 at @atqpac next Sunday, and in front of one of Will Robinson’s stunning rainforest paintings which inspired the piece. How awesome is that painting?

Head to YouTube to hear more plus amazing @chris.williams.didgeridoo performing an excerpt 💖
