A myriad of stories converge on the historical Wiradjuri site at Koori Beach Narrandera NSW, continuing to the Mornington Peninsula. Our Wiradjuri local stories are shared in music, dance and narration by local and regional Wiradjuri youth, continuing a powerful intergenerational connection to story -telling.
In collaboration with classical music artistry from Inventi and Emily Granger, an authentic translation in spirit brings new understanding and appreciation of our unique cultural landscape.
830pm: Emily Granger (harp): In Transit
In Transit: Inspired by her life as an American artist living in Australia, Emily Granger performs contemporary works that unearth the breadth and beauty of harp music from the two countries. From Australia, much-loved composers Elena Kats-Chernin and Ross Edwards feature with exciting emerging voices. Equally breathtaking are works by American luminaries Libby Larsen, Laura Zaerr and Deborah Henson-Conant. With themes of travel and isolation; serenity and solitude; this music paints a vivid portrait of an artist’s life in transit between opposite sides of the globe. Rich in imagination and overflowing with stories, this is a chance to observe Emily’s artistry like you’ve never heard it before.
