Bob Brown's life told through his poems, set to music. On the 42nd anniversary of the moment that changed the course of Tasmania's environmental history – the stopping of the Franklin Dam – Festival of Voices is honoured to present But Then…, a moving and deeply personal musical event from one of the country's most revered conservationists. Bob Brown needs no introduction. His voice has echoed through decades of activism, courage and change. But what many don't know is that Bob is also a poet – his words are often described as tender, lyrical, and steeped in the quiet power of reflection. But Then… brings those poems to life. When musician and producer Steve Crump first heard Bob's poetry, he was struck by the emotional honesty within them and asked whether he could put it to music – Bob agreed and so began a remarkable collaboration. This premiere performance features Bob Brown reading his poems and sharing stories from across a lifetime, interwoven with music composed and performed by Steve Crump (piano), the extraordinary Monique Brumby (vocals and guitar), and Kate Calwell (cello). Together, they trace an autobiographical journey through music, memory, and meaning. Join us for an intimate evening of song, storytelling and reflection—one that offers a rare glimpse into the heart and history of an Australian icon.
