Australian Music Centre | Breaking sound barriers

Event Details

Kutcha Edwards is a force of nature. Since 1991 he has combined songwriting and activism in groups like The Black Arm Band and Blackfire, and in a successful solo career fusing his ‘Bidgee’ blues with traditional songs of people and country. His proud Mutti Mutti heritage and his experiences as a survivor of the Stolen Generations have shaped his diverse creative output, which has seen him collaborate with artists including Paul Kelly, Archie Roach, Judith Durham, Emily Wurramara and Emma Donovan.    

A highly respected Elder and Songman, Edwards has curated this special event (Ngarli-Wangu means ‘our song’ in Mutti Mutti), and will both host and perform throughout the evening alongside special guest artists. By inviting them to the stage of Australia’s most famous building, they will lift up the anthems that have helped shape the Blak artistic landscape for the past 40 years, together with the power of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, in an immensely moving live experience.  

The Sydney Symphony Orchestra acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the many lands on which we work and perform. We perform our art in a long tradition, as Aboriginal peoples were the first musicians on these lands of what we call Australia. We believe music is a universal language that unites. We pay our respects to Gadigal Ancestors past and present, who are the Traditional Custodians of the land on which our home, the Sydney Opera House stands.

Mob Tickets are special priced tickets for First Nations people to selected Sydney Symphony concerts. There are a limited number of tickets for the concerts listed below.
