The Central Australian Aboriginal Women’s Choir To Tour The Country In March

The Central Australian Aboriginal Women’s Choir will tour around Australia in March.

The group consists of 30 members from six remote communities within a thousand-kilometre radius throughout central Australia – Hermannsburg, Areyonga, Titjikala, Mutitjulu, Docker River, and Alice Springs.

The choir was formed from a combination of community choirs from Ntaria (Hermannsburg), Areyonga and Ernabella.

Morris Stuart AM, the choir’s charismatic Artistic Director and Conductor, is the person who is responsible for bringing Central Australia’s sacred sounds to the world – Morris said, “ I am once again thrilled to doing another tour with this fine group of people., I am deeply proud of this choir, when I started out little did, I know that my work and this choir would become the stuff of legend in Central Australia and the subject of both a documentary and an ABCTV episode of Australian Story. There is something about music, especially singing, choral singing, which is powerful, transformative, therapeutic, that brings people together.” He added, “the choir’s greatest achievement so far has been a 12,000km trip to Germany to share some of the fifty-three hymns that German missionaries translated into local languages in the 19th century. The songs had all but vanished from use in Germany but had been preserved in the Central Australian desert for 140 years.” Morris says, “the preserved German hymns are like an “outback secret, it is a delight to be bringing the choir back for a tour in collaboration with my friend Andrew Kay, we have created quite a family.”

Producer Andrew Kay AM, said, “It is always a privilege to collaborate with the Central Australian Aboriginal Women’s Choir and with Morris Stuart AM, who I have known for many years now through our collaborations and love of supporting our Indigenous communities. It is a strong and special association, and it is most exciting to be bringing the choir back to perform around Australia on this national tour, audiences are in for a special treat This unique choral performance will inform and educate audiences, providing a rare insight into a vital but unknown aspect of Aboriginal culture in the Central Desert.”
