Women of Song is an innovative new show developed by acclaimed First Nations composer, performer and creative entrepreneur Jessie Lloyd (Mission Songs Project).
Featuring three female First Nations singers, audiences listen in as they perform a conversation-styled performance that includes themes of intergenerational practices, singing on and from country, commitment to community and preserving knowledge in song. It’s an intimate celebrate of the “here and now” of Indigenous culture.
Each conversation and performance is as unique as the next, as the women explore live on stage how their songs preserve the social, cultural and environmental shifts of a community, and deepen connections to country, genealogy and custom. Women of Song is an amazing opportunity to experience First Nations cultural practices in music from the women that practice them.
“Composer and performer Jessie Lloyd is a passionate song-keeper of Australia’s Indigenous music from yesteryear and the stories behind it.”
