Shore Break
Shore Break tells the story of a man brought up in an emotionally illiterate, culturally bereft world. Bumping through childhood and adolescence into adulthood, he is consumed by awkwardness, confusion, anger and an inability to connect. Something inside him has broken. So, he turns to the ocean. A place that will hold him and keep his secrets. As memory overtakes, he begins to unravel, trying to decipher what he has done, who he is, and how he might find his way back to civilisation. But is there enough forgiveness left in the world?

Jess Hitchcock w/ Iain Grandage & The Penny Quartet
‘One of the Indigenous voices of her generation, Jess Hitchcock is rightly celebrated for the genre-defying range of her musical output. As comfortable singing alongside Paul Kelly or Kate Miller-Heidke as she is on the stage in operas or with the Sydney Symphony, she brings extraordinary virtuosity and musicianship to all she does. For this very special concert, she is joined by myself and the Penny Quartet, one of the most inventive chamber ensembles in the country, to sing of old histories and new. Featuring repertoire that spans the centuries, she will also share some of her own very special songs in all-new arrangements.
