In this new series presented by the ACO and the Wheeler Centre and held exclusively at ACO Pier 2/3, a quartet of defining Australian figures join Fenella Kernebone for revealing one-on-one discussions about the role of music in their life and work.
Leigh Sales AM (Wednesday 19 October) was until recently the anchor of the ABC’s primetime current affairs program 7.30, and is the author of four books and host of the wildly popular podcast Chat 10 Looks 3 with Annabel Crabb. Bill Henson’s (Friday 2 December) photographs have been exhibited across the world for over four decades and are held in every public collection in Australia. Helen Garner’s (Thursday 17 November) books – including The Children’s Bach, This House of Grief and Yellow Notebook – earned the Australia Council Award for Lifetime Achievement in Literature in 2019 as well as a legion of dedicated fans at home and abroad. And distinguished Professor Larissa Behrendt AO (Tuesday 25 October) is a Eualayai/Gamillaroi woman recognised for her work in Indigenous education, the law and arts. She is the Associate Dean (Indigenous Research) at the Jumbunna Institute at the University of Technology, Sydney and host of Speaking Out on ABC Radio.
All four hold in common a deep and lifelong love of music, and they’ll reveal the pieces that have accompanied their lives and inspired their work.
