EVENTS // Diimpa x Forest Collective

Beautiful Indigenous music in a rich chamber orchestra setting

CONTENT COURTESY FOREST COLLECTIVE

Join new music doyens Forest Collective on an adventure of deep listening as you explore the unique sounds of composer Diimpa in the lush surrounds of open air.  

Diimpa’s rich soundworlds draw from lived experience as a queer, autistic,  Aboriginal Gubbi Gubbi man, and will take you on a sonic journey from darkness to light. Sit back and relax in the tree-filled surrounds of Heide Museum of Modern Art. 

Led by artistic director Evan J Lawson, Forest Collective is a 15-piece chamber ensembe dedicated to new classical music. Lauded for unique and surprising performances, Forest Collective is one of Melbourne’s finest new music ensembles, working across disciplines from pop music to the avant-garde; from opera to contemporary dance. 

Join Forest Collective as they weave together the beautiful minimalistic looping music of Diimpa in a rich chamber orchestra sound. 

Diimpa x Forest Collective, 4pm February 28, Heide Museum of Modern Art. Book your tickets online to this event, which is part of the Heide Summer Festival and supported through Creative Victoria. Learn more about the Forest Collective on the website.
