Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

Celebrate Australia Concert


Australia

Experience the beauty of Sydney in summer and some of the country’s
best voices and musicians at the Celebrate Australia concert.


Sydney comes alive in summer. Life spills out into the streets and celebrations of sun, food and culture abound. In 2010 Habitus is joining forces with Zip Industries, the Commonwealth Bank and other sponsors to bring a new event to the city’s Australia Day festivities.

The ‘Celebrate Australia!’ concert will be held in the natural beauty of the Domain, featuring opera star Yvonne Kenny, television personality William McInnes, the very popular vocalist Jon English and the Australian composer and singer Gavin Lockley.

An 80-strong orchestra and 40-voice choir will present the ‘Symphony of Australia’ – a six-movement symphony tracing our nation’s history from the dreamtime to present day.

A key event of the Australia Day Council of NSW and in conjunction with the Botanic Gardens Trust, the concert will also present Australian classics such as ‘Clancy of the Overflow’, ‘Click Go The Shears’ and ‘Waltzing Matilda’.

The Domain is the centre of cultural activity in Sydney, drawing huge crowds over the holiday period, however this will be the first time that an Australia Day concert showcasing Australian compositions and talent has been shown there.

Entry to the concert is free and visitors can buy refreshments around the grounds. The magic of the city skyline at dusk will form a spectacular backdrop as the festivities commence.

The concert in the Domain will run from 5pm to 8pm on Tuesday 26 January. You can visit symphonyofaustralia.com for more information.
