Baptism
Pseudo sacred ocean worship and wind instrument ceremonies on Australia’s East coast
Baptism is a collaboration between Saxophonist, Charlie Sundborn and composer and clarinettist, Solomon Frank. They immerse their wind instruments in the waterways on Cammeraygal, Gadigal, Wangal and Dharug country, using them as conduits for the environmental force of the ocean. Baptism facilitates semi regular outdoor performances to mark the seasons inviting local artists and musicians to perform alongside them, creating community and ceremony around the watery ecologies of Sydney.
Previous performers within the series have included Marcus Whale, Splinter Orchestra, Chloe Kim, Josephine Macken, Holly Conner, Raya Tolentino, Tina Stefanou, Jack Stoneham and Alexandra Spence.
