A musical and visual meditation on the journey that is war

The image of the dragon is central to the concept of war and peace throughout recorded human history.

The Dragon Sings, a commemorative concert marking the centenary of WWI, intertwines stunning music and poignant poetry in a visual and musical homage to all those who are caught up in the journey that is war.

The concert takes its inspiration from a new anthology of poems, collected, beautifully hand-scripted and illuminated by Helen Clancy McBride.

Featuring the remarkable voice of soprano Shelli Hulcombe, with readings by acclaimed actor Barbara Lowing, this emotion-filled concert commemorates a chapter in modern history that is close to the hearts of all Australians.
