To mark this year’s 50th anniversary of NAIDOC Week, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra celebrates the Strength, Vision and Legacy of Yorta Yorta / Yuin composer and soprano Deborah Cheetham Fraillon AO with a powerful concert of works by this much loved and acclaimed national treasure.

Conducted by Aaron Wyatt and Nicolette Fraillon AM, the MSO is joined on stage by special guests William Barton, Jess Hitchcock, Lillie Walker and members of the Dhungala Children's Choir.

Featuring key moments from Cheetham Fraillon’s compositional partnership with the MSO, from Eumeralla, a war requiem for peace (2019) to her 2024 work Earth, this performance acknowledges a remarkable career dedicated to the future of First Nations voices in the classical music space.
