SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Milestone
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nPresented by Asia TOPA\, Arts Centre Melbourne and Melbourne Symphony Orchestra \nMilestoneWilliam Yang and the MSO with Elena Kats-Chernin\nAsia TOPA opens with a landmark new commission by one of Australia’s most celebrated artists. \n\n\n\n\nHaving reached his milestone 80th birthday\, pioneering artist William Yang reflects on his extraordinary life in this epic new performance. Yang’s iconic photographs and captivating stories are complemented by a haunting score performed live by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. \nInternationally-acclaimed Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin — a long-time friend and collaborator of Yang’s — composed a moving score especially for Milestone\, and will perform live on stage alongside the Orchestra for this performance. \nYang is a trailblazing champion of Asian–Australian culture internationally. He documented the birth of Australia’s LGBTQI+ rights movement from the early days of Sydney’s Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras to the devastating impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and 90s. Unassuming\, evocative and honestly examined\, Yang looks back on his vast archive of photography\, contemplating five decades of social change and the evolution of Australia’s bohemian artist community. \nMilestone is Yang’s most ambitious and personal performance to date. Don’t miss this one-night-only encounter with a legend of Asia-Pacific performance sharing his stories of immigration\, sexuality\, creativity and family. \nProcess Lab: Join an intimate conversation with William Yang and dramatrug/co-director\, Tessa Leong as they reflect on the process of making Milestone together.
