A thought can learn to fly if you give it wings. This concert of inspirational and aspirational music examines the nature of human achievement and celebrates the remarkable things that we are capable of as people when we truly put our mind to something.
This program also draws inspiration from the night sky, including music conceived by simply looking up and reaching for the stars. An unmissable experience in the lead-up to the ABCI's 2024 tour of New Zealand featuring music by Trans-Tasman composers.
