. . . Aboriginal singers with magnificent, rich voices . . .
Dharawal Soprano and composer Sonya Holowell, and Biripi opera tenor Elias Wilson, are established Australian Aboriginal singers with magnificent, rich voices, professional networks, and strong community connections. In September-October 2022 Holowell and Wilson performed the two lead roles in The Song Company’s successful tour of Songs from the Heart, its passionate musical response to the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
The production received rave reviews from Classikon’s Pepe Newton (see link below) and Sydney Arts Guide’s Lynne Lancaster.
