ACO HomeCasts Highlights
William Barton, Didge Fusion
It was a joy to return to City Recital Hall for ACO Transfigured, our first series of live concert hall performances in over six months. We were honoured to share the occasion with our long-time friend, Australian composer and multi-instrumentalist, William Barton, who joined us on stage to open each performance with his original composition, 'Didge Fusion'.
We’re pleased to have premiered a special recording of this remarkable and moving piece. 'Didge Fusion' features Barton on vocals, guitar and didgeridoo, joined by members of the ACO.
