An authentic show of conversations and songs, "Women of Song" articulates First Nations cultural practices in the here and now, live on stage. Developed by acclaimed First Nations composer and performer Jessie Lloyd, this innovative performance features three female First Nations singers.
Audiences will enjoy a conversation-styled performance that explores themes of intergenerational practices, singing on and from country, commitment to community, and preserving knowledge in song. It's an intimate celebration of the "here and now" of Indigenous culture.
Each performance is unique, showcasing how the women's songs preserve the social, cultural, and environmental shifts within their community, while deepening connections to country, genealogy, and custom. "Women of Song" offers a remarkable opportunity to experience First Nations cultural practices in music from the women who embody them.
Jessie Lloyd is recognized as a passionate song-keeper of Australia’s Indigenous music and the stories associated with it.
