Classical music is for everyone, not just those in a concert hall. This project’s ambition to increase access and awareness for what music can bring to everyone is an exciting venture…’  Mark Wigglesworth, Chief Conductor Adelaide Symphony Orchestra.

Experience a mesmerizing fusion of art, nature, and sound with Arc en Ciel by Biennial Artist Celia Craig. Inspired by her synesthesia—the blending of senses—four diverse musical partners create a captivating soundscape that harmonizes with the stunning, vibrant sculptures of Dale Chihuly. 

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Bicentennial Conservatory, Arc en Ciel features distinct voices weaving together in gradual, improvised harmony. Over the course of an hour, this immersive, art-inspired experience invites you into a serene world of deep listening, where music, color, and nature unite in an unforgettable journey of sensory discovery.

When was the last time you truly took a break? No screens, no distractions—just space to think, breathe, and soak in nature around you? Science shows that time spent immersed in nature and art isn’t just relaxing—it boosts clarity, reduces stress, and sparks creativity.

Join Celia Craig and Caspar Hawksley, the duo behind the hit neurodiversity schools show Colours of Home, for Arc en Ciel. In Celia’s Biennial Artist series in the iconic Bicentennial Conservatory, they are joined by cello virtuoso Thomas Marlin and jazz flugelhorn star Harrison Smith to create a unique and relaxing musical experience. Let the sounds evolve, blending slowly and seamlessly into an hour of deep listening that washes over you in harmony with the stunning, vibrant glass sculptures of Dale Chihuly “In Full Colour”…

Step outside the chaos of everyday life and into a moment of calm, creativity, and connection with Arc en Ciel—where nature, art, and music unite.
