Nat Bartsch: Forever Changed

The Round Proudly Presents Nat Bartsch: Forever Changed – A musical experience where everyone is welcome, and anyone can be themselves. Sparkling piano lullabies celebrating neurodiversity in immersive surround sound.

Forever Changed is a deeply personal and immersive concert from triple ARIA-nominated pianist and composer Nat Bartsch. Inspired by her own experience of being neurodivergent, Nat has created a series of lullabies that explore the sensory preferences of autistic and ADHD people.

Drawing on insights from music therapists and neurodivergent collaborators, the music blends piano with sampled harp and strings, ambient electronics, and field recordings to create a rich, atmospheric sound world.

In the 2pm relaxed performance, you're invited to experience the music in a way that suits you best. With comfort in mind, the space includes features like bean bags and sensory-friendly lighting.
