The Alaska Orchestra led by Megan Alice Clune, along with Heather Shannon and Mara Schwerdtfeger return to Sydney Opera House for their digital stage debut with a live streamed re-imagining of Brian Eno's 1978 landmark album, Ambient 1: Music for Airports accompanied by live visuals from renowned Sydney artist Carla Zimbler.
After their sell-out 2018 Vivid LIVE performances for the albums then 40th anniversary, Alaska Orchestra will present Eno's original score in a new light, combining electronic and acoustic sounds for a moving interpretation of this ambient classic, live on stage.
The first album to be explicitly created as Ambient Music, Music for Airports starts us on a sonic journey to a calming destination. Designed to "induce calm and space to think", it is a creative powerhouse from the mind of a man at the forefront of musical creativity over the last five decades and the visionary curator of the inaugural Vivid LIVE.
