Arafura Music Collective

Communities connected through music

Creating, recreating, and celebrating identity and cultural heritage

Arafura Music Collective is a community of musicians and performing artists based in Garrmalang (Darwin), on Gulumoerrgin (Larrakia) land, in the Northern Territory.

We are passionate about creating music together in small ensembles and contributing to the unique cultural life of our community.

“Our audiences come to be surprised, challenged, moved, delighted, and entertained.

We invite them into the rich intimate drama of chamber music.”
