Livestream

Making Daybreak is a unique collaboration between two internationally-recognised Australian artists exploring and celebrating human resilience in the face of adversity at a time when it is particularly pertinent. This seminal work weaves melodies and lyrics that reflect on universal tales of pain, strength and connection, while mirroring the composers’ own individual journeys through trauma, grief, migration and chronic illness. The songs are brought to life through intricate string quartet arrangements, bolstering Pauline’s powerful vocals in French and English.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to get insight into the project and composers' approach as the songs are debuted live.
