Songs of Home
Hosted by: MusicBox
Come by for a multidisciplinary performance exploring the vivid sounds and complex dark stories of early colonial Australia, performed by The Matildas.
The Matildas, made up of musicians from the colonised land now known as Australia, with special guests from the US and UK, together perform Songs of Home, where they explore the music from a complex and turbulent period in Australia’s history. Through Songs of Home, the forgotten sounds of folk songs, ballads, fantastical tales, and lively dances carried by Europeans to Australia around the turn of the 19th century are brought to life.
