Heal You is a transformative journey of healing, peace, and belonging.

Music has a profound ability to heal and restore, touching both the heart and mind in ways that transcend ordinary communication, and nothing expresses this more keenly than the human voice.

As part of our 2025 Adelaide Festival program, we articulate this healing with exquisite musical responses, from early 20th Century works; Josef Rheinberger’s Abendlied and Charles Villiers Stanford’s The Bluebird, and contemporary repertoire with prayers against violence, tyranny and homelessness, with Caroline Shaw’s and the swallow, Anne Cawrse’s Night/Light from the 2024 commission All Flesh is Fire, Anna Meredith’s Heal You and Jake Runestad’s Let my love be heard.

Also featuring music by Joanna Marsh, Ēriks Ešenvalds and Emeli Sandé.
