Over the past
several years, the Australian Chamber Orchestra has played an annual multimedia
concert in collaboration with a number of renowned creatives, including
photographers Bill Henson (Luminous)
and Jon Frank (The Crowd and
The Reef).
This year, as part of Sydney’s annual Vivid
winter festival of lights, music and ideas, the ACO performed Timeline
in collaboration with The Presets and,
as the concert’s tagline proclaims, life flashed before your very ears. A flick
through the concert’s program
proves just how mind-bendingly vast and crazy an undertaking it was.
