Luke Styles No Friend But the Mountains
Conceived for chorus, soloist, and large orchestra, his richly-imagined score unfolds across twelve impassioned songs and interludes, faithfully shadowing the trajectory of Boochani’s ordeal. Addressing aspects of Australian history and identity, ‘a work such as this changes a composer’ Styles confesses. ‘This will always stand out as a milestone work for me’.
