Barry Green Concert: The Four Elements

Saturday 6th July 2024
4.00pm – 5.30pm

The Four Elements is a unique and powerful program for bass, piano, and narrator created by world renowned double bass virtuoso Barry Green. The stunning visuals, music and script remind the audiences of both the joys the four elements fire, air, water and earth, bring to our lives while at the same time humbly alert us to their fragility and destructive power.

Barry Green will be joined for this performance by Australian Double Bass player Elsen Price and Pianist Alison Cameron.
