And then for all who live in Melbourne, such a treat! The premier of "Origins - of the Universe, of Life, of Species, of Humanity", a major new oratorio conceived by singer and evolutionary geneticist Jenny Graves PhD, FAA, AC, to held at the Melbourne Recital Centre in July. 

Jenny writes, "The aim of 'Origins' is to bring the beauty and wonder of science to the public, and to express some of the most profound scientific truths in inspirational music. It will fill an oft-lamented gap in the choral repertoire for major contemporary secular works, and we expect it will be performed in Australia and overseas for decades to come."

When: 7.30pm on Tues 18 July

Where: Elisabeth Murdoch Hall, Melbourne Recital Centre

Tix: Melbourne Recital Centre here.
