About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

Every year on 26 May, National Sorry Day remembers and acknowledges the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed from their families and communities, which we now know as ‘The Stolen Generations’.

Join us for a special performance by Kutcha Edwards, multi-award winner, proud Mutti Mutti songman and a survivor of the Stolen Generations using his mesmeric music to create connections across cultures, generations, and spaces. His charismatic stage presentations deepen our understanding of Australia’s first people.

As a respected Elder, activist, and survivor from the Stolen Generations, a Kutcha live experience takes you on a journey with stories from his life, that segue so eloquently into each song choice lifting your spirit. His voice is like a light force. It guides you through tales of justice, heritage, and forgiveness.

At the heart of it Kutcha’s music is pure soul.

We invite the community to join us on Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Country as we come together to listen, learn, and reflect. We also acknowledge the strength and resilience of Stolen Generation survivors.

This is a free event. Places are limited for this event and bookings are essential.
