QSO 75th birthday concert | Yo-Yo Ma presented with Birgit Nilsson Award in Sweden

The music of Australia's birds

It's Bird Week and we've been celebrating the songs, squawks, and sights of Australia's incredible bird life.
Sample a small selection of Australian birds in classical music. Or nestle into the sounds of some of Australia’s great songbirds, and the human music they inspire.
Or check out some of the incredible bird art you've been sharing with us on Facebook and Instagram.
Hear ARIA-topping album, Songs of Disappearance, which features 53 rare Australian birds and their unique tweets and calls. And shake a tail-feather with a flock of beautiful bird-inspired music on Mornings with Martin Buzacott.
