Ngarra-Burria: First Peoples Composers is an award-winning artist development program designed to build bridges for First Peoples musicians to step forward, further develop their composing skills, and connect with the art music sector. In partnership with Australia’s leading new music group, Ensemble Offspring, Ngarra-Burria has been working with First Peoples composers to bring these exciting, previously unheard voices into the spotlight. This album celebrates the creative vision of twelve of the program’s leading alumni: music of beauty, strength and passion.
