The Rivers Sing, RISING Festival's call in the heart of the city.
If you’re in Melbourne, head down to see The Rivers Sing, RISING’s call in the heart of the city. A large-scale sonic artwork uniting the suburbs, the city and Country with the people who call them home.
“Over 6 weeks in the lead-up to RISING, The Rivers Sing will wind its way along the Birrarung and Maribyrnong rivers, collecting and layering the voices of singers, in this large-scale sonic artwork composed by acclaimed opera singer Deborah Cheetham AO, with artists Thomas Supple and Byron J. Scullin. As their journey comes to an end, the voices swell in the heart of Birrarung, uniting an urban environment of concrete and glass and the landscape that lies beneath.
Echoing from the water across the streets of our city. This is our call—head to an ancient meeting place on the river’s banks at sunset, and hear a song for the stories yet to come.”
The Rivers Sing began its journey down the Birrarung and Maribyrnong at the TarraWarra Museum of Art for the 2021 Biennial.
