Sponsor a First Nations Singer

Our Big Sing sponsors are a crucial part of Big Sing Community’s success. Every year people across Australia support First Nations singers attending Big Sing Community events.

Since 2010, funds raised have contributed directly to the costs of transport, accommodation and workshop expenses for singers from the Central Desert communities of Kaltukatjara (Docker River), Mutitjulu, Titjikala, Utju (Areyonga), Ntaria (Hermannsburg) and Mparntwe (Alice Springs) to attend Big Sing in the Desert.

Big Sing Community has also supported First Nations singers from communities on the East coast to attend Big Sing in the Desert and other events.

The Song Keepers

Many singers from the Central Australian Aboriginal Women’s Choir are regular participants at Big Sing in the Desert. This is made possible by your generous support of our Sponsor a First Nations Singer fundraising. Hilda, Daphne and Marion (in main picture above) have been invaluable teachers and leaders at every Big Sing in the Desert since it began in 2010. I am honoured to know them and work with them.

Watch the trailer for the beautiful documentary film The Song Keepers which tells the story of the Central Australian Aboriginal Women’s Choir’s tour to Germany with Morris Stuart in 2015.
