Homophonic! brings the disco ball to the concert hall in three evenings of new classical music by queer composers.
Directing her eighth event, Miranda Hill describes it as "celebrating Sapphic symphonists, homosexual harmonies, and the long and proud tradition of composers being as gay as the day is long.
Classical music has a rich heritage of LGBTQ+ musicians, performers and composers, and this concert celebrates the legacy of artists such as Tchaikovsky, Poulenc, Copland and Cage, by performing the work of 20th and 21st century queer composers, in an exciting program featuring famously gay composers alongside new Australian music."
