MOONAH Nights

Three generations of musicians from Tasmania’s emerging, culturally diverse communities will come together on Saturday the 18th of August for a unique ninety minutes of live world music as part of the Moonah Arts Centre’s special events program.

Moonah Nights is a development showcase for culturally diverse musicians, keen to share their cultural traditions and develop new audiences for their unique style of music.

See and hear contemporary and traditional musicians and vocalists from Iran performing in Farsi; maybe get your first taste of Karen Burmese pop; or thrill to the dance and vocal traditions of the Dinka speaking community.

Madi speaking Adunga players will present from both the traditional repertoire of this popular African string instrument as well as contemporary compositions. Hear generations of vocalists from the great musical traditions of the Congo and Zimbabwe.

Moonah Nights is part of an ongoing development program by the Moonah Arts Centre to promote diversity in live music, with the generous support of Arts Tasmania and Glenorchy City Council’s Arts and Cultural Development Program.
