NOTHING HAS CHANGED
If David Bowie had not existed, it would have been
impossible to invent him. Now that he’s undergone
his final transformation, Australia’s finest pay
tribute to the Starman.
Few musicians can claim to have refashioned
modern music so comprehensively as the
man born David Jones. From the glam of
Ziggy Stardust to the desolate Berlin years
right up until his intensely personal final
album Blackstar, Bowie always reflected
contemporary culture back on itself while
remaining truly alien.
Now artists under the influence of the great
man gather to perform his music in their
own unique styles, alongside the Melbourne
Symphony Orchestra under conductor Vanessa
Scammell and Creative Director Amanda
Pelman.
