The Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra’s Voyage of Musical Discovery series was established and designed by the late Richard Gill AO, world-renowned educator and ARCO’s founding artistic director.

‘Musical Identities’ is the third Voyage of Musical Discovery in 2023, and reveals the multiple identities of composer and performer and the links between them. Ensemble Offspring joins the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra to explore common threads in music from the past and in the latest works by Australian women composers.

The program will feature music by three distinctive Australian voices: Fiona Loader; Yuin composer and musician Brenda Gifford; and Nardi Simpson, a Yuwaalaraay writer, musician and composer. Downloadable Education Kits to accompany this program will be made available in early 2023.
