a capella

8CCC Big Brekky listeners got the lowdown on Kwarta Tuma Festival 2025, from music coordinator and musician, Emma Trenordan. Think of Desert Song Festival condensed in time, but rich in offerings - much like Ormiston Gorge, Kwarta Tuma being Arrernte for that special place in the West Macdonnell Ranges. On from 12 - 14 September, check out the program and book ASAP!

The Big Brekky Show hosted Emma Trenordan in the lead up to her performance at the Roastery. This Saturday from 6pm, Emma will lead a Winter Solstice Celebration, reading poems from her High Fire Danger collection to musical accompaniment. She will also play music from her reWILD EP, as well as original music with Rosie Ballard, Anchor and Kite and the Splinter Sisters. Expect a great night of entertainment and food around the fire, at this popular venue for artistic and musical events in Mparntwe.
