Building Song Bondi Pavilion

Gabrielle Bates is organizing this fundraiser.

Donation protected

Does a building have a voice? The next Building Song activation will be at 12 noon on 26 October, 2024 at Bondi Pavilion on Gadigal Bidiagal land in Sydney. We're inviting you to support Building Song by donating the value of a ticket ($35 or more is recommended) and then attend the activation in October.

If you've heard of Building Song, you'll know it's a singular experience. The artist ensemble for this iteration features Gabrielle Bates, Peter Swain, Cybele Shorter, Voices from the Vacant Lot, Ellen Kirkwood, Kate Brown, and vocalists from the Bondi community. Your donation will allow the artists to create a new, unforgettable experience at the iconic pavilion.

Building Song is a roving performance that activates many different parts of the building, so having an idea of how many people will be attending will help us prepare. Please grab your free tickets through the following portal:

Here are a few of the reviews from audience members who attended our last performance at The Foundations on Wiradjuri Land in Portland, Regional NSW:

"Stunning. Superlatives aren't up to describing the occasion. Ethereal perhaps. Almost a religious experience."

“It was incredible, the sound, space, voices, song, people, movement."

“A very moving tribute to the former life of the building and the people who worked there, while calling in its new life.”

Building Song and its crew acknowledge and thank the traditional custodians of Bondi Beach, the Gadigal Bidiagal people of the Eora Nation, and we acknowledge that their sovereignty has never been ceded.

The residency component of this project has been supported by Waverley Council through the Local Creative Collaborations Program at the Bondi Pavilion.
