ACO The Reef

Overview

Richard Tognetti is the Heston Blumenthal of Australian classical music. He is a master of his craft, an experimentalist and most importantly a composer whose work has continuously radiated perfection.

Now, in Tognetti's latest and most ambitious project to date, The Reef, he takes his audience to the rugged coast and desert landscape of northern Western Australia. In what is best described as a beautiful yet delicate marriage of pieces, Tognetti intersects music and nature to create a unique cinematic and musical experience.

Tognetti, however, is not a solo artist in this production. In what is a remarkable collaboration of artists, including photographer Jon Frank, director Mick Sowry, composer Iain Grandage, didgeridoo player Mark Atkins, singer Stephen Pigram and the young musicians of ACO2, The Reef delves into links between surfing, the ocean, landscape and music.

Dive in and be mesmerised by the swirls of music, arid landscapes and captivating footage that is, The Reef.
