We have the joy of meeting knowing something of Adrienne Howley. Mrs Howley story has inspired Sophie to set the Iconic Australian poem “I Love a Sunburnt Country” to music.
Adrienne Howley nursed its author Dorethea MacKellar for 14 years and became her biographer. She is a Buddhist the Venerable Howley a follower of the Dalai Lama and has lead an inspiring life.
In the workshop this and other works are played aimed to remind us to value our best Australian qualities of tolerance and co-operation in working together to create a better future.
At the same time we aim to promote enthusiasm for poetry and music. Harp flute and piano are played live. The choice of material is aimed to be accessible if not already known by the children.
We believe the children will find it highly palatable.
