Compassion: A Collaboration with Nigel Westlake and LIOR at Concert Hall, QPAC

You may not recognise Nigel Westlake's name but it could be you've hummed tunes from the award-winning soundtrack of Babe or the title song from the Beatrix Potter biopic. In a special commission, Westlake and the Australian singer-songwriter Lior have collaborated to create Compassion a tuneful, driven and emotional work for voice and orchestra based on Jewish and Islamic text. Lior has composed the vocal part and Westlake the riot of colorful orchestration. Both composers are committed to presenting music that "speaks to the audience". Lior has earned a reputation as one of the nation's finest live performers.
