A dynamic mother and son share their connection through music
William Barton, is an acclaimed didgeridoo player, multi-instrumentalist and composer celebrated for his unique fusion of traditional Indigenous music and contemporary influences. He has collaborated with orchestras, composers, and musicians worldwide. His music, rich with the spirit of his Kalkadunga heritage, creates immersive experiences that connect past, present, and future generations.
Aunty Delmae, a celebrated singer, songwriter, poet, and visual artist, has shared her gift globally—from our stages to international stages in Europe and Asia. Her voice carries the weight of cultural wisdom, moving audiences with spiritual and poetic resonance. She is renowed as Australia’s Dreamtime opera diva.
This dynamic mother-son duo beautifully exemplifies the richness of First Nations culture and its profound impact on the arts. Book tickets for an evening of evocative storytelling and music.
