On Thursday 21 September, the University of Newcastle Conservatorium of Music, Auckland Street is hosting a special free event, Bayira.
Bayira brings together local Elders, students and the community and features performances by the Newcastle People’s Chorus and young people from the Big Picture school, as well as creative workshops, storytelling and more.
It opens at 5.30pm with performances from the People’s Chorus of Newcastle of some favourite songs such as “Weevils in the Flour”. Next will be “Catching Dreams”, a segment of music, storytelling and drama presentations by Indigenous and non-Indigenous high school students.
A local Indigenous youth perspective on the Voice follows and a presentation on language by Angelina Joshua.
At 7pm there will be a break during which light refreshments will be served.
After the break, you can choose to participate in an Indigenous arts workshop or a session, “Catching Stories- Newcastle Stories”.
The event will conclude at 8.30pm after a yarning circle.
Feel free to pop in for a while or attend all. The event is free but we would like you to register.
