With millions of people worldwide now seeking refuge, a world premiere by the Queensland Chamber Orchestra Camerata in Brisbane tonight is focusing attention on the universal need for a musical safe haven. The haunting piece ‘Reza Barati’ by emerging Australian composer Brooke Green, is dedicated to the asylum seeker of the same name who died on Manus Island in 2014. It’s one of a selection of classical works featured in the Queensland Music Festival event ‘Sanctuary’.
