Sweden on 5 September, swiftly followed by an Australian premiere in Sydney on 12 October and a further performance at Stockholm’s Riddarhuset (the House of Nobility) on 20 October. The work will also be featured at the is Arti Festival in Lithuania on 21 November.

Work on the piece was funded by a commission from the Australia Council for the Arts. The Swedish and Lithuanian performances will be sung by Karin Lovelius, with Sareidah Hildebrand (flute), Suranjana Ghosh (tabla), Joakim Lundström (guitar) and Ola Karlsson (cello). The Sydney performance will be by Jenny Duck-Chong (mezzo-soprano) with her ensemble Halcyon.
