In a celebration of culture, voice and innovation, the ASO presents the first performances of three groundbreaking new works curated by the Centre for Aboriginal Studies in Music (CASM) and Soundstream New Music.
Each piece is a unique act of musical storytelling, interweaving cultural heritage with contemporary forms such as country, gospel, hymn singing and more. The works are composed by Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara man Elisha Umuhuri, Arabana man Nathan May, Pitjantjatjara woman Makinti Minutjukur, and the Pitjantjatjara women of the Inarma choir.
This event marks the culmination of a multi-year collaborative project and the ongoing artistic relationship between CASM, Soundstream New Music, and the ASO.
Ancestral knowledge and modern expression converge for a concert which resonates with deep connection to Country, community, and the vibrancy of First Nations music in Australia.
