The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection they have maintained to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

We accept the invitation in the Uluru Statement from the Heart and are committed to walking together to build a better future.

Now or Never: Silent Symphony

Seven kinetic sculptures cast rotating planes of light and sound throughout a darkened room, oscillating between order and chaos.

Ancient philosophers believed the universe produced an inaudible kind of music: musica universalis. Hypnotic, trancelike and somewhat menacing, Silent Symphony embodies a sonic and visual interpretation of these celestial patterns.

A constantly evolving work that never repeats, observe this durational piece while seated within its circular formation. Pass through or stay for as long or as little time as needed.

Silent Symphony by United Visual Artists is a free event, that has been created in collaboration with composer Ben Frost.

Runs consecutively for 15 mins.

Thurs 22 Aug, 7pm — 10pm
Fri 23 Aug — Sat 24 Aug, 12pm — 10pm
Sun 25 Aug, 12pm — 8pm
