Island Signal, Island Song

Let the tide of music carry you beyond the horizon

SAT 9 MAY | 7:30PM | THE PLAYHOUSE, AANT CENTRE

Islands capture our imagination as places where the sea meets the land, where cultures exchange signals across distance, and where solitude sparks creativity. This concert gathers music shaped by those powerful images.
