WHAT'S ON
Island Signal, Island Song
Let the tide of music carry you beyond the horizon
SAT 9 MAY | 7:30PM | THE PLAYHOUSE, AANT CENTRE
Islands capture our imagination as places where the sea meets the land, where cultures exchange signals across distance, and where solitude sparks creativity. This concert gathers music shaped by those powerful images.

COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS
Recap of Choose Your Own Adventure Tour
We had a wonderful time bringing DSO’s Education show Choose Your Own Adventure show to schools across the Barkly region.
The touring week began with an early airport start; thanks to our travel partners Airnorth we were able to load all our instruments and gear onto the flight. Flying low across the Territory gave us a beautiful view of the country below, and we noticed how green everything looked after a huge wet season.
