MAGGIE On Her New Single 'Blue Sky'

Claire Kilgariff and Adrian Walter from Arafura Music Collective joined Baini on the 8CCC Big Brekky show this morning for a live performance and discussion about the upcoming performances this weekend titled The Lovers: Music as the Heart of the Community

The Lovers is a celebration of love in all its forms: romantic love, friendship, family, community and our shared humanity. The program features music by J.S. Bach, Tchaikovsky, Elena Kats-Chernin, Peggy Polias and Northern Territory composer Annette Anderson. Moving between intimate chamber works and larger ensemble performances, the concert explores how music can connect us to one another and strengthen the bonds of community. Warm, uplifting and deeply human, the program reflects Arafura's belief that music is truly the heart of the community.

Playing the guitar, Adrian performed the intro and outro for the piece Le Avventure di Amore (The Adventures of Love), a charming and expressive work by nineteenth-century Italian guitar virtuoso Mauro Giuliani.

Catch Arafura Music Collective on Saturday 7th November at Grey Community Hall, Palmerston, and on Sunday 8th November at the Supreme Court, Darwin. Tickets available here.
