RIVERSONG 2023: Marks on Country

2023 Gala Concert

Experience the Moorambilla Magic in this joyful celebration of Country, connection, contemporary art and choral music, choreography and installation visual art.
Celebrate the energy, tenacity and enormous capacity of our region’s children.
Feel the power and energy of our magnificent rivers interpreted through Japanese Taiko Drums, dance, and the voices of our four regional youth choirs, all woven together with a word-class Chamber Orchestra.

We are so proud to be sharing RIVERSONG 2023: Marks on Country with audiences in Dubbo on the weekend of September 23 & 24. The program was informed by the annual 2023 Artistic and Cultural Immersion Program, inspired by the stories, relationships and Country of the Gamilaroi, Yuwaalaraay and Yuwalayaay language groups of the Gomeroi Nation starting from the head of the Castlereagh River at the magnificent Warrumbungles connecting through to the wonders of the Narran Lakes.

WE ARE MOORAMBILLA VOICES

Our vision is bold! We are a regional choir of excellence that encompasses our regional children and youth. Our children will work with recognised leaders in their field to create, perform and record repertoire that gathers its core artistic inspiration from the region of New South Wales and those that inhabit it. We draw on the cultural legacy and spirit of the country with recognised leaders in our field. We do this in order to spark national conversations on inclusion and respect.

“Moorambilla Voices is unique in the Australian arts ecology. Through cultural immersions, partnerships with extraordinary artists and collaboration with our wonderful participants, we create a multi-arts program that speaks directly to our shared connection to country. When our children sing in language, dance together, passionately play Taiko, make lanterns, tour, record and perform we re-energise ourselves, our audiences and our songline with confidence and joy.”
