HOME SWEET HOME
SUNDAY 30 AUGUST
2.00 PM
THIS IS A SPECIAL FUNDRAISING INITIATIVE OF BRAGS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MITCHELL CONSERVATORIUM.
Kim Deacons passionate musical and dramatic performance introduces us to the goldmining town of Hill End, where Kim lives and where the largest gold nugget in the Southern hemisphere was found and to the neighbouring town of Gulgong where young poet Henry Lawson was growing up.
Kim has set 10 Lawson poems to music, and accompanying herself on harp, banjo, guitar and piano, along with a spirited narrative, archival footage and soundscape, takes us on a journey encountering the sweet sorrows from this tumultuous time, a fascinating era from Goldrush to Federation.
After the performance there will be a Q & A with Kim Deacon.
