10 October - 11 October, 2026
Rooted in radical tenderness and fierce intention, the Arkestra is a collective voice - a vessel to carry audiences through the noise, uncertainty and complexity of now. We sing songs that hold space for the things that matter, weaving music with spoken word to create an immersive journey through sound.
The Arkestra Choir is Fletcher Babb (aka Cold Ghost) , Daniele Constance and a community of passionate Gold Coast artists and musicians. This is a musical project that reflects the contemporary zeitgeist! We acknowledge our shared existential crisis whilst, like an Ark, offer the gift of safe passage through a repertoire of classic songs.
This is more than just a choir; it's a living project of shared sound, deep listening and creative exchange.
Times: Sat 10 & Sun 11 Oct, 3pm
Cold Ghost is Gold Coast-based songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Fletcher Babb. His work explores composition as a vehicle for stories - real and imagined. His latest single The Iron Way is inspired by the mono-madness of Captain Ahab in Moby Dick.
Danielle Constance is a multidisciplinary artist and disabled arts leader with a strong focus on inclusive and socially-engaged arts practices. Based on the lands and waterways of Kombumerri Country in the Yugambeh Language Region (Gold Coast), she create works that are grounded in lived experience, disability-led practice and community-engaged methodologies. Her artistic work spans dance, contemporary performance, participatory and site-specific projects, visual and installation-based practices; with care, access, and relationships at the centre.
