Tibetan musician Tenzin Choegyal will join with an ensemble of Conservatorium students to perform Be the Sky, a meditative collaboration with composer Philip Glass (Koyaanisqatsi) honouring the Dalai Lama. This 2026 Brisbane Festival co-production blends Tibetan melodic traditions with minimalist piano structures. It promises a profound, intimate exploration of compassion and impermanence, featuring intimate, soul-stirring soundscapes.
Choegyal's music bridges ancestral tradition and contemporary expression. Raised in exile and now based in Australia, he channels his lineage through his art — shaping powerful compositions and serving as an ambassador for Tibetan culture and stories.
A Collaboration with Brisbane Festival, curated and led by Professor Vanessa Tomlinson.
