The Bowerbird Collective presents Where Song Began, a musical and visual celebration of Australian songbirds. 

Performed more than 100 times in sold out halls across Australia and internationally, Where Song Began was described as "spectacular" by Limelight Magazine in a 5-star review.. 

The 50-minute program includes music spanning 300 years, from Johann Heinrich Schmelzer and J.S. Bach to Arvo Pärt and new commissions, enhanced by a film of evocative visual projections and an immersive soundscape.

The Bowerbird Collective makes art for nature. Their work has received international acclaim, and their ARIA-nominated album of threatened bird, frog and mammal calls, 'Songs of Disappearance', reached the top of the ARIA Album Charts ahead of Adele, ABBA and Ed Sheeran. 

Violinist Simone Slattery was a 2019 Churchill Fellow, received a PhD in Music Performance from the University of Adelaide and performs regularly with Australia's finest ensembles. 

Cellist Anthony Albrecht was Australia's first graduate of The Juilliard School's Historical Performance program and enjoys an international performance career.
