North and South presents world premieres and new music commissions from world class artists as they all converge on Sydney for a two-night series of incredibly special musical moments.

Created in collaboration with composer, artist, curator and Lawrence English (Room40), this music performance series will activate the Art Gallery’s campus on Wednesday evenings during the Volume festival. Exploratory sonic approaches orbiting outward from drifting ambience, neo-classical forms and reductive electronics will be presented over a series of events, with a focus on intergenerational performance, emerging Indigenous musicians and international senior career musicians.
