'We Will Rise' is a live performance of Topology music curated from a back catalogue of signature compositions and a new composition 'Drought Stories Texas', and reflects Topology's contemporary concerns.
"We are so happy to announce a live tour of 'We Will Rise'," Creative Director and Topology virtuoso soloist, Christa Powell (violin) says, "and particularly to regional, rural communities who are bearing the brunt of economic and societal hardships brought about by climate disruption.
"Natural disasters like bushfires, floods, cyclones, drought and other traumatic events are extremely challenging for communities. Recovery takes time and cannot be done alone.
"Recovery is about community, strength and working together to rebuild. In 'We Will Rise', this assembly of tracks, both old and new, asserts our belief in optimism and the faith that we will pull through these times of crisis both individually, together and through the healing power of music.
"Rush is a perfect musical metaphor for this – one instrument, five musicians, ten hands all working together."
