Migrating Bird – Véronique Serret with Band and William Barton

Friday 08 August 2025 | 06:30 PM

Inspired by Australian landscapes and dedicated to living and learning from our natural world, Migrating Bird bridges the gap between contemporary and classical.

Gypsy spirit Véronique Serret is renowned as one of Australia's most celebrated violinists.

For her latest Aria nominated album, Migrating Bird, she uses her voice for the first time, singing songs as an offering to nature.

Take a walk with Véronique and her band, close your eyes and listen deeply. Migrating Bird was conceived during the pandemic years, where Veronique spent months on a property in Brookfield, Queensland walking and listening in Mount Coot-tha Forest. This became her refuge and in the absence of society. Mother Nature became her teacher.

When the world stood still and our cities took pause.
I turned to Mother Nature.
I walked and walked and listened deeply.
This is what she said to me.

Now this intimate and personal musical experience is brought to the stage with music that has been compared to the early work of Laurie Anderson, Migrating Bird offering a night of deep listening.
