12 Nov 2013 They’ve played on the world stage over the past 29 years, the lights shining on these young, talented, Grammy award-nominated children.

I acknowledge the traditional Custodians of the land on which I work and live, the Gubbi Gubbi / Kabi Kabi and Joondoburri people, and recognise their continuing connection to land, the waters and sky. I pay my respect to them and their cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.
