Event Details
Dots+Loops is honoured to present HEAR US NOW, an evening of music highlighting the voices of survivors of childhood sexual abuse and child abuse.
In a groundbreaking commissioning project by violist Ella Beard, their intimate performance validates, reflects, and amplifies the experiences of those who have been victimised, offering an opportunity to meaningfully and empathetically engage with these realities. The program features new works for solo viola by Australian composers Emily Sheppard, Robert Davidson, and Hilary Kleinig,
Accompanying this performance, composer/producer MJ O’Neill blends and reimagines her compositions across a four-deck DJ arrangement, giving space for reflection and lending solidarity to the evening's complex catharsis.
HEAR US NOW creates a safe, supported space for difficult conversations, one that is grounded, reflective, and carefully held.
