Zulya and the Children of the Underground The Inland Sea of Sound

In April 2010 BMEC is launching a new annual festival which will bring music from diverse cultures to our region over a wonderful week of celebration.

Zulya and the Children of the Underground: Saturday April 17th BMEC Theatre Zulya, originally from Tatarstan in central Russia, is familiar to audiences throughout Australia as a performer of traditional and original music derived from her Tatar and Russian cultural roots. Zulya has developed a totally original approach as an affirmation of her unique identity - an affirmation that takes her Tatar and Russian background to totally new places and in completely new ways with a highly developed sense of melody, rhythm and texture. "Zulya's powerful heart-tugging voice is emotionally irresistible. She has provided us with a musical window into a unique and little known culture, from a corner of the world, which we might otherwise have remained ignorant of. We're all richer for the experience" - Seth Jordan, Rhythms

Special Festival pass available - please contact Box Office 63336161
