Behind the Scenes 18th August 2025

Helen Simondson from WA Museum Boola Bardip is here to let us know what’s going on in the west AND to introduce us to Daniel Schoknecht who’s the Curator in charge of the visiting Terra Cotta Warriors…

Then Chamber Made is taking over the public and hidden spaces of the Melbourne Recital Centre when they present Listening Acts – a programme of three live performances and six sound installations – and we’ll meet one of the artists – Aviva Endean – to find out what we’ll be listening to…

Meanwhile, the Bowlines trio is back with another live, improvised performance that could include echoes of classical, Norwegian, Indian, blues, klezmer, Balkan, Turkish , Greek, Irish, Scottish and jazz music styles. How do they fit all that in? Ernie Gruner is here to explain…

And finally, it might be our week to focus on Perth, but we’re sneaking in an artist from Adelaide when we meet young singer songwriter Zara Chantelle who’s just released a song about breakups that, oddly, is called Happiness…

They’re all on this week’s edition of Behind the Scenes with Chris Thompson right here on Vision Australia Radio.
