The Flowers of War project presents the launch of ‘The Flowers of the Great War’ Collection

“The Flowers of the Great War collection is a gift to the nation and the world. Containing more than 20 hours of first recordings, music and contextual information, it is a survey of the best composers and painters from a dozen nations who fought in that conflict, most of whom were killed. It is a measure and demonstration of the cultural cost of war, undertaken as part of Christopher Latham’s artist-in-residence position at the Australian War Memorial. A primary focus has been the recovery of the music of Frederick Septimus Kelly, Australia’s greatest cultural loss of WW1. ”
