SUMMARY:Into the Light
DESCRIPTION:The Melbourne Rainbow Band presents the first of two art concerts\, “Into the Light”. \nOpposites so often fit together. Seemingly the most obvious of opposites\, light and dark create one another through their very essence. The impact of each\, however\, is often the same. Into the Light is an exploration of light- the photons\, the colour\, the sun\, the mood\, the hope\, but also the crushing intensity and terror that light can bring. \nFeaturing incredible sweeping musical scores\, a performance from Artistic Director and international horn soloist\, Brian KM\, and stirring visual art by Jackson Fumberger\, this is an event not to be missed. \nExperience this performance in the stunning light filled interior of the Victorian Pride Centre.
