‘I don’t think I’ve seen a more soulful performance in my life...’ – The Herald Sun
Kutcha Edwards is a force of nature. Since 1991 he has combined songwriting and activism in groups like The Black Arm Band and Blackfire, and in a successful solo career fusing his ‘Bidgee’ blues with traditional songs of people and country. His proud Mutti Mutti heritage and his experiences as a survivor of the Stolen Generations have shaped his diverse creative output, which has seen him collaborate with artists including Paul Kelly, Archie Roach, Judith Durham, Emily Wurramara and Emma Donovan.
A highly respected Elder and Songman, Edwards has curated this special event (Ngarli-Wangu means ‘our song’ in Mutti Mutti), and will both host and perform throughout the evening alongside special guest artists. By inviting them to the stage of Australia’s most famous building, they will lift up the anthems that have helped shape the Blak artistic landscape for the past 40 years, together with the power of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, in an immensely moving live experience.
