2012 Regional Tour - The Reef

Tura New Music announces its 2012 Regional Touring Program - a very special collaboration with the Australian Chamber Orchestra to present The Reef featuring Richard Tognetti, ACO2, Mark Atkins and Steve Pigram. Premiering a new work by Iain Grandage with film created by surf cinematographer Jon Frank and film director Mick Sowry, the tour will travel to Darwin, Kununurra, Broome, Port Hedland, Carnarvon, Geraldton and Perth with a showcase presentation at the Sydney Opera House. The new work will be created during a special creative development residency at Gnaraloo, the start of Ningaloo Reef in the Gascoyne region of WA, in early 2012 delving into the links between surfing, the ocean, landscape, community and music.
