NGARRA-BURRIA: First Peoples Composers Concert
Event Information
About this Event
Join us to hear the work of 2019 Ngarra-Burria composers Eric Avery, James Henry, Nardi Simpson and 2018 composer Brenda Gifford, performed by the Australian Royal Navy Band at the ABC’s Eugene Goossens Hall.
Ngarra-Burria is an artist development program intended to build bridges for First Peoples musicians to step forward, further develop their composing skills, and connect with the art music sector. The program was initiated by Dharug composer Chris Sainsbury, and the words 'art music' here refer to the vast spectrum of contemporary classical/new music, contemporary original jazz and improvisatory practice, experimental practice, including sound art and installation, computer music, and more.
