Presented by Libra Ensemble in association with Aphids and the Melbourne International Arts Festival.

Thousands of Bundled Straw is a major new work by Australian composer David Young, which has been in development with the Libra Ensemble for a decade. Inspired by an ancient myth of the Temple of the Healing Eyes in far western Japan, Thousands of Bundled Straw is performed in its entirety for the first time as part of this year's festival. At once epic, subtle and witty, Thousands of Bundled Straw is a fascinating song cycle featuring five eggs, 12 instrumentalists and soprano Deborah Kayser.
