Anna Von Hausswolff
The maestro will take on Sydney Town Hall's grand organ for Sydney Festival.
Overview
There are two reasons why this concert has made our list. First up, it involves the Town Hall's grand organ. That thing, which was the biggest organ on the planet when it was installed in 1890, can make 'Chopsticks' sound like Beethoven.
Secondly, Anna von Hausswolff won’t be performing 'Chopsticks'; she’ll be playing and singing her dark, dramatic meditations on life and death. Genre-wise, they're tough to categorise, combining the influences of opera, film scores, black metal, the Cocteau Twins, Jefferson Airplane and her famous, avant-garde composing dad, Carl Michael Von Hausswolff.
Plus, she'll be supported by New Zealand's Aldous Harding, a '60s-influenced folk artist who dazzled Australian audiences earlier this year.
Anna Von Hausswolff is one of our top ten picks of the Sydney Festival. Check out our other favourite events over here.
