Formed for a tour of the Dampier Peninsula in 2007 and originally known as Windstrokes, Overlander brings together four of Australia’s leading musicians in a unique union - the funky rumbles of didgeridoo super star William Barton, the dulcet tones of singer/songwriter Mel Robinson, the boundless charm and wit of composer/performer extraordinaire Iain Grandage and the voluptuous strength and energy of percussionist Claire Edwardes.
The all-Australian program features works composed and arranged exclusively by members of the group as well as Peter Sculthorpe's classic, Djilile and brand new works by Elena Kats-Chernin and Gerard Brophy. Each composer has a different take on the Australian topographical and musical landscape and together their works combine to form a rich tapestry of sonic colours reflecting the sienna soil of the red centre, the sweeping bush of the Blue Mountains and the thrashing waves of the coast.
