Music in my Suitcase

Celebrate your cultures

Explore how music can be a powerful means to share language and history.

Australians come from many different places. Iconic world music group Mara! will inspire students to listen to and understand each other by sharing music from a diverse array of cultures. Integrating music and dance, Music in my Suitcase gives students the opportunity to explore Australian history and share their own languages in the classroom and during the concert.
