Nordic Lights – Sanctuary Series

Unplug from the world outside and embrace a new form of self-care.

Sit or recline on a mat as the ASO guides you on a peaceful journey in these one-hour events performed in near darkness.

In this concert, journey from Australian shores to the elemental landscapes of Scandinavia. Strings swell in Barber’s Adagio for Strings. In Richter’s On the Nature of Daylight, a repeating melody rises with quiet resignation – cinematic and deeply tender. Sibelius and Thorvaldsdóttir evoke endless skies, frozen air, and distant warmth – a still, slow-moving northern landscape conjured in the quiet language of strings.
