Join Tibet’s ‘whispering sky’ show
EXPERIENCE the joy of music, dance, and culture as Tibetan musicians Tenzin Choegyal and Tenzin Kunsang bring their soulful performance ‘Whispering Sky’ to the Far North with two concerts and a workshop this weekend.
An explosion of colour, song and tradition is coming to Cairns and Kuranda when the two Tibetan powerhouses join forces and styles with ‘Whispering Sky’ a dance workshop at the Soul Temple in Kuranda and two concerts, one at Koah Hall on December 7 and a second one at 348 Severin St in Cairns on December 8.
“On this visit I’ll be bringing along my good friend Tenzin Kunsang. He’s a graduate of the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts, he has a wide training in Tibetan song, dance and opera,” Mr Choegyal said.
“For our concerts we’ll play and sing some of our songs and Kunsang will also perform a couple of beautiful, traditional dances. Kunsang will also lead a dance workshop in the afternoon.
“I play the flute which is my father’s influence – hearing him play inspired me to learn more. My mother’s voice is also instilled in me, also being around the elder generations of Tibetans, so when you hear my voice, I’m hoping that I have kept the wisdom of my elders in my music.
“Kunsang and I are looking forward to meeting many people and sharing our stories during our time in the Cairns and Kuranda region.”
