Search - Australian Art Orchestra & Young Wagilak Group :: Crossing Roper Bar

On Crossing Roper Bar, we get to hear what happens when the most experienced Jazz musicians in Australia come face to face with the Wagilak speaking songmen of Arnhem Land, custodians of one of the oldest continuously practised cultures on Earth. The Australian Art Orchestra (AAO) has continually sought out the new in music and has engaged with artists from other cultures. These collaborations have set new standards. Crossing Roper Bar is a collaborative composition that retains the beauty and dynamism of both traditions.
