Gurrumul & The Sydney Symphony Orchestra | Remembering a national treasure | Ep 6

Gurrumul, an extraordinary musician, friend, and national treasure. One of Australia's most acclaimed and beautiful voices. Gurrumul's performances at the Opera House will remain forever in our hearts. Erkki Veltheim from the Sydney Symphony Orchestra described his voice as so textured that it sounded like a choir, while his collaborator and confidante, Michael Hohnen, shared insights into his genius, quick wit, and grace. We remember this exceptional musical talent and the way he captivated audiences by sharing the stories, landscapes, and traditions from his home in north east Arnhem Land.
