Event description
On the final weekend of the Nature Festival, join Kaurna elders, the Taikurtinna Dance Group, led by Jamie Goldsmith, and the Bowerbird Collective for the World Premiere of a spectacular new performance inspired by connection to country and the cycle of the seasons. This one-hour cinematic concert features stunning visuals, immersive soundscapes, song, dance and ceremony, as well as new music for string quintet and traditional instruments by David John Lang.
