A 10,000-strong kazoo orchestra, a performance featuring 30 locally recruited orphaned adults, and an outdoor concert inspired by the oldest known piece of notated music and featuring up to 1000 community members, are among the array of experiential and participatory works featured in the 2023 program for the winter festival, RISING.
Billed as ‘a festival that you do’ rather than one you passively observe, RISING 2023 is described by its Co-Artistic Directors Hannah Fox and Gideon Obarzanek as ‘a mass celebration of Melbourne’s unique culture in the heart of the city’.
