Warrma piipa
ngatji patija; kutu patija; ngata waru
Songbook: My Story; Your Story; Our Journey
Acclaimed First Nations musician, longtime Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO) friend and the world’s foremost didgeridoo player, William Barton has partnered with the Orchestra in an extraordinary new project which seeks the next generation of storytellers and song-makers to collaborate and express a Song to Country.
Warrma piipa ngatji patija; kutu patija; ngata waru (Songbook: My Story; Your Story; Our Journey) is a unique and ambitious multi-year, multi-artform project that weaves stories, language, song, music and creative expression into a cross-Queensland Journey composition.
This Journey commenced in William Barton’s ancestral Country of Mount Isa/Kalkadoon last month where Ceremony was held to open the collaborative circle with QSO. It will continue with William and the QSO visiting communities including Cairns/Yarrabah, Rockhampton/Woorabinda, Gold Coast/Yugambeh, Charleville/Bidjara, which is William’s Mother’s Country and finally, to close the circle of the Warrma piipa (Songbook), Ceremony back in Mt Isa/Kalkadoon.
