Project summary: This Seeding Grant supported the launch Ensemble Dutala. This Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led and populated ensemble will become a beacon to young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander musicians who are searching for a pathway which will lead them to a career as a classical musician. Through this research process and practical application, Short Black Opera will test the idea that ‘if you can see it, you can be it’.
