Hand to Earth tells of the stars, of fire and of the cooling rain.

Join Yolŋu songman Daniel Wilfred and Korean vocalist Sunny Kim in an Australian Art Orchestra musical collaboration.

The raw, elemental vocal gestures of Sunny, singing in both Korean and English, are brought together with the power of Daniel’s Yolŋu manikay – song cycles of ancestral knowledge that have been passed down for many millennia. These distinct vocal approaches meld into the electronic atmospheres of trumpeter and composer Peter Knight, accompanied by David Yipininy Wilfred on yidaki and Aviva Endean on clarinet.

Performing at the NMA for one night only, Hand to Earth is a beautiful invitation to share culture and learn from each other.

60 min performance, no intermission
