Among Aboriginal musicians from remote Central Australian desert communities, performances in white-dominated towns are commonly portrayed as desirable occasions for engaging with a white-dominated socio-musical realm. This seminar explores how such racially informed cross-cultural notions are put to work in the accumulation of Aboriginal male and musician status. I then describe how Aboriginal town gigs are in fact organised, carried out and evaluated by various Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal stakeholders.

Start: 8:00 pm
End: 11:30 pm
Free admission!

Music will be late Renaissance/early Baroque - Monteverdi, Cozzolani, Gesualdo, Victoria, Palestrina, and Rigatti.
