Sydney mavericks Ensemble Offspring and Darwin-based Arafura Music Collective join forces with fierce First Nations female storytellers to weave together chamber music, spoken word and dreaming stories.

Stories of Water and Earth features an interactive performance composed by and featuring Nardi Simpson, evoking dreaming stories and traditional songs that share Yuwaalaraay women’s creative and cultural practice. This will be performed alongside a new work by Darwin’s Netanella Mizrahi and Melanie Mununggurr, delving into Melanie’s Yolngu identity.

A culmination of almost 10 years of First Nations musical collaborations by Ensemble Offspring, Stories of Water and Earth is both a story and a musical journey of language, culture and singing – one which will touch the soul, the heart and the mind. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear the language of the land.
