This follows on from their collaboration at the National Folk Festival over Easter. The performances at the National were played to a full house in the famous Budawang Auditorium and were a highlight for many across the Easter weekend as well as being an incredible experience for the players.
“There must be something very special about the Bega Valley. We love working with such a dedicated group of players…who are constantly challenging and improving their technique and skills,” said Graham Hilgendorf of YuNiOn.
Anyone who attended the ‘Thunder and Waves’ concert at the Bega Valley Commemorative Civic Centre last November will appreciate the power and energy that Stonewave Taiko and YuNiOn bring to the stage.
The winter intensive, held at the Sapphire Coast Anglican College, has been the starting ground for the group to learn new rhythm, dance and song material for the next planned concert, to be held in the BVCCC on November 11.
