About Kaurna Yarta | The Seasons | Regional Tour | Port Pirie

Kaurna Yarta is a spectacular new performance inspired by connection to country and the cycle of the seasons. This 80-minute cinematic concert features stunning visuals, immersive soundscapes, song, dance and ceremony, as well as new music for string quintet and traditional instruments. This is an unmissable, sacred celebration of culture in harmony with nature.

Kaurna Yarta – The Seasons features 24 new works by Australian composer David John Lang, commissioned by the Bowerbird Collective, and directly inspired by two years of knowledge sharing with Kaurna elders and culture bearers, including Aunty Lynette Crocker, Jamie Goldsmith and Taikurtinna Dance.

The work received its World Premiere on October 14, 2023, at the Living Kaurna Cultural Centre, SA, supported by Creative Australia and Arts South Australia.
