Welcome to the digital content for Sally Greenaway's multi-sensory experience!
The two tabs below bring you the music videos and the documentary behind the scenes in creating this exceptional music.
Step into a world of beauty, delight and joy! The Strawberry Thief is a suite of 3 pieces composed by multi-award winning Australian composer Sally Greenaway.
The accompanying chocolate selections were created specially for this music, handmade by multi-award winning artisan chocolate makers, Enigma Fine Chocolates, in what might be a world-first for classical music.
This is a unique encounter for the senses that music and chocolate lovers of all ages can enjoy - all your senses come alive in a fusion of taste, smell, sight, sound and texture.
The Strawberry Thief
A fleeting encounter - an inquisitive little bird weaves among the flowers. Inspired by William Morris' famous design, the bird escapes with a strawberry!

Strawberry Fruit Couverture (38%)
Vibrant bursts of strawberry fruit flutters around the palate in a joyous and playful manner. Delightful!
The Secret Garden
Soft, misty rain in a secluded garden: the scent of wet bark from the nearby gum tree, droplets fall delicately from the leaves. Glistening. Still.

Dominican Republic Milk (46%)
with Native Pepperberry
Smooth, luscious chocolate with earthy undertones and botanical floral notes dance harmoniously with subtle native Tasmanian pepperberry spice. Divine.
The Little Red Fox
The inquisitive little red fox darts playfully around the garden - between bushes, round trees, in joyous antics.

Madagascan Dark (64%)
with Sour Cherry
Earthy, rich dark chocolate with subtle red wine notes, punctuated by bursts of sour cherry that crescendos and decrescendos throughout its melt.
