MAPBM Presents Constellations at Linden Observatory

MAPBM Presents Constellations at Linden Observatory, Saturday 28 November 2026, 6:30-9:30pm

In partnership with the Superposition Festival MAPBM presents an evening of song, performance, moving image and star gazing at the historic Linden Observatory. Audience participation is encouraged as we sing select songs to the stars led by the Basic Pitch Choir and local musician Daniel Morphett (El Duende) in addition to performing his own work.

As the Sun sets, day transitions into deepening night, the stars in the sky are slowly revealed and artist Maëlyse Léculier plays other worldly sounds of the Aeolian Harp, transforming wind into music. Twilight Passage suspends us in the crossing from light to dark, from one world over to into the next - a meditation on that brief and magical moment in between.

Artists Carolyn Eccles and Sean O'Keeffe as DARKroom present APUS. Linden Observatory offers APUS a return to the night sky. Reconsidered for this remarkable place of astronomical observation, and heritage, the work brings image, movement, landscape and celestial imagination into dialogue, allowing the observatory itself to become an active presence within the unfolding work.

This is an opportunity to visit and enjoy this unique site of astronomical research. The Linden Observatory will run tours of the dome and night sky viewing. https://www.lindenobservatory.org.au/  Linden Observatory will also run a fundraising sausage sizzle, so bring a picnic rug and settle in..

Constellations is curated by Miriam Williamson.

Adults $15 Under 18 years free. Tours of the Dome tickets $5
