Come on a journey in music and mythical imagery spanning thousands of years and be immersed in the world of ancient Egypt, which laid out so many of the universally adopted rituals, symbols and truths present in all the popular religions throughout history and which are still in use to this present day. The concert moves through the cradle of civilisation to the many divergent forms of evolving cultures in  
humanity’s timeless search for meaning, healing, and the universal tendency of humans to embark on a quest for wellbeing in their “afterlife”.


Rupert Guenther “created an Ed Sheeran-meets-Brian Cox vibe, with sinuous interweaving of melodic lines and harmonies to instil a sense of meditative wonder.”  The West Australian
