SONGS FROM THE HEART
A new co-commission from Elizabeth Sheppard & Sonya Holowell
A totally new creative collaboration between The Song Company and Indigenous composers and singers Elizabeth Sheppard and Sonya Holowell.
Elizabeth and Sonya are co-creating an a cappella presentation directly inspired by the Uluru Statement from the Heart. As we journey through uncertain times, some things become more certain and necessary than ever. For all of us who live in Australia, engaging directly with the experience of our First Nations hosts is the meaningful way forward into the future.

In Songs From The Heart the text and principles underlying the Uluru Statement are the direct focus and inspiration of Elizabeth and Sonya’s musical creativity. Expect the unexpected from our unaccompanied singers on stage, confronting the past and the present with newly-created music, and be moved by its intense beauty and raw emotion.
Songs From The Heart embraces all that The Song Company is renowned for – exciting and meaningful collaborations that build the cultural capital of Australia through both the commissioning process and the performances.
