The concert is described as a time-bending musical odyssey through 42,000 years of music, from Stone Age sounds to Vivaldi, Mozart and Bach, to Miles Davis, Bob Dylan and Nirvana, and then into a finale of contemporary music assembled by the ARIA Award-winning duo. 

Mercury photographer Christopher Chan went backstage before the show and captured images of Wollongong-raised ACO director and violinist Richard Tognetti and other orchestra musicians as they rehearsed ahead of the performance.
