Welcome to Review’s Isolation Room. As a pandemic spreads around the world, and increasingly touches the lives of more Australians, some of the country’s best musicians, authors, dancers and artists have hunkered down, given their time and recorded performances for The Australian’s readers.

From Missy Higgins to Deborah Conway; Tim Rogers to Brian Cadd; The Australian Ballet to Tom Keneally and beyond, the Isolation Room is a place of great art and hope for a country at its time of need.
