Ephemeral soundscapes with santur | violin | cello | voices

Sat 17 Oct 4pm - 5:15pm

Lagavulin Concert Hall @ The Piano Mill, Toowoomba

Emily Tulloch, Maryam Rahmani & Caoimhe Collins bring their Harrigans Lane CoLab residency to a close with an intimate concert celebrating music, poetry, and place.

Working on Kaurna country (Adelaide) since 2024, these three artists have woven their distinct traditions — art music, Persian classical, and Irish folk — into a shared, improvisation-led practice shaped by the natural world and the landscapes they inhabit. Join them for an evening of original music forged where three deep-rooted traditions meet.
