A single vocalist, three violins and a cello reveal the City of Shadows, a musical performance of stories inspired by an exhibition at Sydney’s Justice & Police Museum (which later became the book of the same name) comprised of crime scene photos and mug shots taken in the first few decades of the 20th century.
