Monash Art Ensemble presents Nat Bartsch

Drawing on interviews with climate scientists, Bartsch creates a meditative sound world of composition, improvisation, ambient textures, and field recordings. Inspired by the concept of ‘Radical Joy’, this moving piece invites reflection, resilience and hope in the face of climate collapse.

The program also features I, Said the Sparrow written by emerging composer and vocalist Greta Williams, a lyrical response to Who Killed Cock Robin? that offers its own contemplation on survival, recasting the sparrow as a symbol of quiet, female resilience.

Join us for an evocative evening of original Australian music through stories of survival and strength, presented by Monash University’s School of Music and Performance.
