Syzygy Ensemble performs Turning A Phrase
In 2019, Syzygy Ensemble celebrated turning 10 and reflected on what it means to turn, grow and change. Do songs need words? Does a piece with words need to be a ‘song’? How big must a piece be to share a message? The Ensembles delves deep into the relationship between words and music, exploring these questions, sharing new discoveries and taking you along for a most fascinating musical journey. This upload was made possible thanks to support from the Department of Education and Training, and the Peggy and Leslie Cranbourne Foundation.
