The 200km pilgrimage will start at Launceston’s Pilgrim Uniting Church before snaking down the Midlands Highway and stopping at Cleveland, Ross, Oatlands, Kempton and finally Hobart.

Unconscious Collective is behind the journey, which will feature a performance by international instrumentalists Danielle de Picciotto and Alexander Hacke on the opening night, after which Hobart’s Miles Brown will lead a progressive pipe organ and theremin performance at each of the Midlands’ stops.

Brown said his music was well suited to the venues on the pilgrimage.

“The theremin is quite ethereal and works well with the organs to create an atmosphere,” he said.

“We did a fair bit of creative development at each of the stops earlier in the year, where we tested out what would work where.

“There are working churches in Hobart and Launceston, but in Cleveland there was an organ which looked like it hadn’t been played in 50 years.”

The team for Crossing also includes David Patman (creative direction), Michelle Boyde (creative direction and design), Matthew Adey (lighting and design),  Matt Warren (sound design) and Gail Priest (sound design).

Brown said each stop is designed to produce a different spectacle.

“There will be some elements that carry on throughout the journey and others that will change wildly at each stop.”

The Crossing begins 7pm on Tuesday, June 13 at Pilgrim’s Uniting Church.
