Sunday 7th July at 4pm, Llewellyn Hall, the Song Company (with other performers) presents a new work called Howls of the House.

Written by Canberra artists, Hal Judge and Tim Hansen, the cantata Howls of the House takes a satirical look at life in Parliament House – both chambers as well as the corridors, the estimate rooms and the offices;  a city within a city. The piece draws inspiration from both the solemn and serious moments of our parliamentary history as well as the daily spectacle of our political circus.
