Melbourne Recital Centre is putting on 'Season Three: Illuminate' with a season that features an exiting mix of artists.
The design concept of Season Three: Illuminate was created by Dixon Patten (Bitja) of Bayila Creative – a proud Gunnai, Yorta Yorta, Gunditjmara, Dhudhuroa man whose narratives are an exploration of culture, often interweaved with familial history. The event takes inspiration from Guling (Orchid Season), Poorneet (Tadpole Season) and features over 50 local and international acts including Paul Kelly & Paul Grabowsky, Mindy Meng Wang and Lady Lash.
