Tura New Music presents Crossing Roper Bar Tour 08

 

THE TOUR

after a chance meeting in 2006, paul grabowsky and tos mahoney committed to producing a tour of crossing roper bar across northern australia, visiting regional centres and remote communities for public concerts as well as schools presentations and workshops. two years later with the support of sponsors, government funding bodies, organisations and an army of individuals the idea has become a reality.

the tour not only provides the public of nt and wa with a unique opportunity to experience this collaboration but gives a new chapter to the process itself. the
journey, as the tour travels across northern australia and down to perth, will further evolve the collaboration – giving new colours and new perspectives.
