Before The Heavens
A Fairy Light Welcome as we made our way out to Honeymoon Gap at White Gums
just outside Alice Springs, for the next creative inspiration of Desert Song Festival.
A performance of musical and poetic musing shared with
loved ones near and far beneath our Wonderous Milky Way.
Composer, Timothy Coghill and Creative Director, Amy Dwight,
a string orchestra and Alice Springs choir presented a magical evening.
Laying in the sand, nestled in our swags, rug pulled up to our chins,
eyes wide gazing upon the vastness of our glorious Milky Way,
a vibrant light was seen as a smiling crescent moon tonight.
An exquisite 90 minute performance as we drifted away on a surreal journey
combining natural bush sounds, strings, bells, gongs and sublime voice.
Surrendered to Sky, connected to earth,
we allowed ourselves to be enchanted by the
surrounding stillness of time and space.
A Yellow Shooting Star was the fitting and glowing encore.
The 2018 Desert Song Festival continues Our Happy Place.
Congratulations and Thank you to all who contributed to another
creative and magical evening.
