Artistic direction and special performances by proud Meriam educator and musician Deb Lowah Clark of the Torres Straits and Artistic Meriam cultural advisor, musician and thespian Luke Captain of the Torres Straits with choir direction by Stella Savy. This collaboration shares knowledge of the Torres Strait Islander peoples, whilst also incorporating traditional Arts of the Torres Straits.

‘At the Boite concert, singing was the obvious highlight. Every song had a great rhythm and beat, created by a small team of drummers and other percussionists playing on the stage with us. Even now,months later, I can remember all the words to the catchy songs.’- Annabelle, Student, Scots School Albury, Windrush .
