Throughout the winter months of 2020, members of the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra Chorus gathered at dawn to support each other through this troubled time, and to voice their gratitude for the beauty surrounding them. Despite the freezing temperatures, they were overjoyed to be outdoors harmonising with other voices. ‘The Ground’ became their anthem.
