Laundry with Kapok String Quartet
A laid-back evening of reimagined contemporary music.

Songwriters Alice Cotton, Eleanor Jawurlngali and Hayley Shone come together with the stunning texture of a contemporary string quartet for an intimate and immersive one-night only performance.

Laundry showcases the vocal and lyrical prowess of Mudburra and Garrawa woman Eleanor Jawurlngali Dixon, the distinctive songwriting of queer alt-country artist Alice Cotton and the intricate guitar work of Hayley Shone, against the backdrop of lush string quartet arrangements. In a unique creative collaboration, emerging composer Alice Cotton crafts bespoke string arrangements of songs handpicked by the artists, offering never-before-heard interpretations brought to life by the Kapok String Quartet.
