Passport Down Under

Cape Symphony’s “Passport Down Under” concert will take audiences on a provocative musical journey that includes rarely performed symphonic music from Australian composers and Aboriginal music. At “Passport Down Under,” you’ll revel in the Aboriginal art, performance, and culture that helped shape music throughout the world. Lauded Australian conductor Carolyn Watson and pre-eminent didgeridoo virtuoso William Barton grace the stage, making their Cape Symphony debuts for this bold, authentic, and provocative musical journey. We’ll feature Australian composers Percy Grainger and Peter Sculthorpe, as well as original music written by Barton for the didgeridoo (an Aboriginal Australian wind instrument made from hollow wood), and a medley of Australian film music. The Cape Symphony is proud to present “Passport Down Under” on Saturday, April 1 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 2, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. at the Barnstable Performing Arts Center, 744 West Main Street, Hyannis.
