​

Percussion, Conversation, Degustation is an innovative project by Speak Percussion, featuring trailblazing percussionist and women's equity activist Duré Dara OAM.

​

It's not just a concert; it's a multi-sensory experience that combines improvised music, engaging storytelling, and locally sourced food. This is designed as a "made-to-order" event, structured like a menu with "courses" of improvised music, stories, and local food bites. The project actively involves post-instrumental practice, where all sounds are valued as music, and improvisation, which Duré Dara sees as a democratising force, breaking down traditional hierarchies.

​

Students from Bairnsdale Secondary College will be participating in the project and local artist, Deirdre Jack will be painting live in response to the musical performance.
