Asia TOPA opens with a landmark new commission by one of Australia’s most celebrated artists.
Having reached his milestone 80th birthday, pioneering artist William Yang reflects on his extraordinary life in this epic new performance. Yang’s iconic photographs and captivating stories are complemented by a haunting score performed live on stage by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Internationally acclaimed Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin — along-time friend and collaborator of Yang’s — composed a moving score especially for Milestone, and will perform live on stage alongside the Orchestra for this performance.
