Words & Music

At the Wheeler Centre, we love a carefully chosen word: words used to precise effect, great or small; words used as weapons or as gifts; playful, silly, nonsense words and words of pure oratory; words of beauty, words as music.

But we also love music itself. EM Forster once wrote that ‘Music is the deepest of the arts and deep beneath all arts’. Melbourne is home to a vibrant and diverse culture of musicians and songwriters, music critics and music fans. Across November, hear words about music, words in music, Words and Music.
