Gideon Obarzanek, co-Artistic Director of Melbourne’s winter arts festival RISING, is in a reflective mood as he explains what he and co-Artistic Director Hannah Fox have learned from previous editions of the festival and what is different about this year’s program.
The many program highlights include the return of The Rivers Sing, a monumental sound work created by Yorta Yorta/Yuin soprano and composer Deborah Cheetham Fraillon AO and audio artists Byron Scullin and Thomas Supple, which was first presented by the festival in 2021.
