Join the artists and guests for a special world premiere event at Vicki Lee Gallery in Surry Hills.

With support from the City of Sydney, Blush Opera has commissioned 12 artists including singers, instrumentalists, writers and composers to develop three new art songs reflecting diverse and contemporary themes and stories.

The artists have been working in 3 groups of 4 over 3 months to develop the new works. The project has challenged traditional composition models by inviting the performers and writers to begin the process together as a group to plan the final work.

This event premieres the three new works along with an opportunity to meet and hear from the collaborating artists about the process and ideas behind the final work.

The concert will be hosted by Vicki Lee Gallery in Surry Hills and a short reception with the artists will follow the performance and discussion.
