Dreaming in the Sand

Robbie James’s String Quintet No. 3, Dreaming in the Sand, is given a raw live performance by the Bentley String Quintet at Brisbane’s New Benner Theatre. Across nine movements it visualises early colonisation through a dream of a nation founded on inclusivity—a dream that still shapes Australia.
