Singing to the River: Sonic Meditation

Singing to the River is a sonic meditation set by the banks of the Brisbane River at Newstead Park. 

This ritual musical experience will be led by Indian fusion singer, yoga & meditation teacher Menaka and supported by First Nations artist and didgeridoo player Glenn Barry, percussionist Tsoof Barras and keyboard player Meg Burstow. (See the artist profiles on our website.)
