Beautiful Indigenous music in a rich chamber orchestra setting

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

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

Lead by artistic director Evan J Lawson, Forest Collective is a 15 piece chamber ensemble 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 minimalist looping music of Diimpa in a rich chamber orchestra sound.
