Upcoming appearances
Homophonic! RESPECT
Saturday 20 June 2026, 2pm
Ballarat performing Arts Centre - The Chapel | 501 – 503 Neill St, Soldiers Hill Vic 3350
Homophonic! brings the disco ball to the concert hall with a musical celebration of our queer history. The RESPECT commissioning project is storytelling through works for voices and strings, drawing inspiration from intergenerational conversations between queer composers and seniors from our LGBTIQ+ community. This performance is emotional and powerful, preserving our shared cultural queer history through the mediums of music, humour, and a generous dose of collective outrage.
“Homophonic! creates nothing less than musical utopia” – Stage Whispers.
"Homophonic! shines a rainbow lens on our often sepia tinted past" - The Age.
Winner of the APRA AMCOS Art Music “Victorian Luminary” Award 2024

This year with day-time performances running for 45 minutes, this series is also perfect for young families. Children will be free to wriggle if they need or leave the Primrose Potter Salon and move to a designated quiet area in the Ground Floor Foyer.
