IDENTITY: Beauty Out Of Darkness - Wollongong

“IDENTITY: Beauty Out Of Darkness” finds Steel City Strings traversing continents, centuries and cultures as it examines what it is to be human, beginning with a powerful evocation of country in Long Time Living Here by the acclaimed Yorta Yorta soprano and composer Deborah Cheetham-Fraillon.
