Description
Limelight is a unique publication dedicated to music and the arts, featuring lively news, features and reviews, at home and abroad

Cover story- Tan Dun's Organic Trilogy. The world-renowned Chinese/American artist returns to Australia to conduct his own organic music concerti - Water, Paper and Earth - for Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. He explains how the trilogy, which uses everything from bowls to paper to stone instruments, draws on the natural sounds he heard while growing up in Hunan.

Feature- Rolling Stone. Simon Stone began making waves in Australia. Now based in London, he is one of the most acclaimed opera and theatre directors in the world, with shattering productions of Yerma, Medea and Kaija Saariaho's
Innocence to his name. This month he directs a new Lucia di Lammermoor for The Metropolitan Opera. We catch up on his brilliant career.

Article- Erin Helyard, Artistic Director of Pinchgut Opera, shares his insights into The Spiritual Forest, the last collection of Monteverdi's music published in his lifetime, as Pinchgut performs the sublime liturgical works in concert.

Interview- Australian composer Elliott Gyger tells us about his new Concerto for Orchestra as the West Australian Symphony Orchestra prepares to perform the world premiere.

Soundings- Check out our popular monthly columns including On the Record, Clive Paget's round-up of the best new recordings; Cutting Edge about the latest in new music; Guy Noble's reliably amusing, provocative

Soapbox; and Sacred Cow in which a guest writer vents, humorously, about something that bugs them in arts and culture.

Reviews- Our experienced critics appraise the latest concerts, operas and plays around the country.

On Air and Online- We preview livestreams, cinema screenings, digital events and radio highlights to check out this autumn.
