In this exclusive member event, join Lakeside’s Head of Music, Catherine Hocking, for a rare and intimate conversation with one of Australia’s most revered musicians and composers, William Barton.

Ahead of his performance with the Brodsky Quartet this evening, William will discuss his extraordinary career and his mastery of the didgeridoo—one of the world’s most ancient instruments. As a composer, Barton is celebrated for his unique ability to weave the didgeridoo into the musical language of the Western Classical tradition, creating a soundscape that is both timeless and contemporary.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from a world-class artist about his creative journey and the heritage behind his craft before he takes to the stage.
