The Bowerbird Collective presents
Where Song Began
A cinematic concert celebrating Australia's birds
Described as 'spectacular' by Limelight Magazine in a 5-star review, Where Song Began is an iconic celebration of songbirds. The mesmerising program of music spans 300 years, from Bach and Schmelzer to Arvo Pärt and new commissions, enhanced by a film of evocative visual projections and immersive soundscapes.
Performed more than 100 times throughout Australia and internationally to rave reviews, this concert in Launceston celebrates the 125th birthday of BirdLife Australia. The Bowerbird Collective performed their work 'Life on Land's Edge' to a sold-out Earl Arts Centre in June 2025.
Where Song Began offers audiences an unforgettable and deeply moving evening filled with the beauty, colour and sounds of the Australian landscape. Brought to life by virtuosic, passionate performers with extraordinary multimedia staging, this concert shines a light on our unique and precious birdlife and the evolution of song.
