Mara! Big Band NSW Regional Tour 2024
This ‘dynamic’ 13-piece ensemble, sits between the Eastern European Gypsy brass band and jazz big band traditions… a “killer line-up” of Australian jazz and world music royalty.
Experience some incredible, original music by the Mara! Big Band focusing on the migrant experience in Australia and the spectre of incarceration (physical and psychological) hovering over it in the past 230+ years. Three women (Irish, Bulgarian & Iranian) speak to us from different times and different circumstances of the trauma that scarred them and we pose the question ‘Zashto?’ (‘Why?’ in Bulgarian language).
