Migrating Bird was conceived during the pandemic years, where Veronique spent months on a property in Brookfield, Queensland walking and listening in Mount Coot-tha Forest. This became her refuge and in the absence of society. Mother Nature became her teacher.When the world stood still and our cities took pauseI turned to Mother NatureI walked and walked and listened deeply.This is what she said to me.Now this intimate and personal musical experience is brought to the stage with music that has been compared to the early work of Laurie Anderson, Migrating Bird offering a night of deep listening.Photo credit: Toby Burrows
