1517 Yorta Yorta woman, soprano and Short Black Opera Artistic Director Cheetham Fraillon will compose a new work for the Wominjeka Song Cycle to debut at the season’s opening. ‘The Wominjeka Song Cycle is a significant commission which Deborah has grown and evolved in concert with MPavilion over the past decade. Each song sonically represents a particular pavilion; together the cycle celebrates an enduring yet dynamic place and the knowledge we share and create in it,’ said Naomi Milgrom AC, commissioner of MPavilion. Since MPavilion’s inception, Cheetham Fraillon has composed a musical expression of welcome in the traditional language of Bunjil’s River Country to open every season. With each work, she responds to the MPavilion architect’s vision and design. Cheetham Fraillon will create the tenth composition for the Wominjeka Song Cycle and perform it with the Dhungala Children’s Choir 16 November. ‘Ten years ago, Naomi Milgrom AC invited me to write the opening song for the first MPavilion and, in doing so, embedded a First Nations voice in this visionary project. With the guidance and deep knowledge of N’Arweet Aunty Carolyn Briggs AM, the Wominjeka Song Cycle has been a deeply considered continuous journey as I have responded each time to a new design, a new architectural voice,’ said Cheetham Fraillon. ‘Every MPavilion invites us to consider our sense of place and cultural knowledge through song in a location where knowledge has been transferred and culture has been lived for 70,000 years.’ As a composer, I have concentrated on the setting of First Nations’ languages from across the continent for over 20 years. There are protocols, permissions and the process of understanding with respect, which precedes each compositional journey. The MPavilion songs have been made possible through the scholarship, c Brisbane’s eyes will be opened to the diversity of India this weekthrough the ENCOUNTERS: INDIA festival featuring more than 70 leading artists from India and Australia across 70 events. Presented by Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University, the festival was officially opened by Her Excellency Dr Penelope Wensley AC, Governor of Queensland and Mr Stuart McCosker, Chancellor Ms Leneen Forde AC and Vice Chancellor Professor Ian O’Connor on Monday 13 May. ENCOUNTERS: INDIA will highlight traditional music, street bazaars, fine art, dawn ragas, cinema, fashion, debates, dance and masterclasses set to transform South Bank into a bustling parade of contemporary India, bringing to life the vibrant colours, tantalizing aromas and the unmistakable movement and sounds of its music styles.

Indian Bazaar The chaotic and riotous colour and sounds of a Mumbai market will be transported to Brisbane for the Indian Bazaar, set to transform the Cultural Forecourt of QPAC with dozens of stalls offering Indian food and crafts, fashion and henna painting, meditation and spiritual nourishment, as well as a dazzling array of music and dance. WHEN: 9am — 6pm, Saturday 18 May and 9am — 4pm, Sunday 19 May. The Darbar Night Series Five unforgettable experiences of music fit for a king, reminiscent of the great Moghul Emperors of India who entertained lavishly at their royal court, MUMBAI: In September 1952, the 15-year-old All India Radio got into a spot of trouble with some musical greats. Ustaad Shakoor Khan, a disciple of the great Ustad Abdul Waheed Khan and a remarkable Sarangi player himself, was asked to audition as part of the state-run radio service's new policy that spanned 400 musicians. What's worse, he ostensibly failed. Within months, protests against the procedure spread across the country as musicians felt slighted. Maestros such as sitarist Ustad Vilayat Hussain Khan, his disciple Pandit Arvind Parikh and Jaipur Atrauli Gharana vocalist Vidushi Kausalya Manjeshwar, formed the Bharatiya Sangit Kalakar Mandal to coordinate with other musicians. Many decided to stop broadcasting on the radio. "[For many days] some 15-20 of us including Kishoritai Amonkar and Bade Ghulam Ali Khan sahib, sat in our cars outside the gate of the AIR building on Queen's Road (now, New Marine Lines in Mumbai) and requested the musicians walking out to stop working for Akashvani," recalled Parikh, now 97. "The agitation ended in 1955 and a settlement was reached. The audition policy was altered to incorporate a screening process, which was not demeaning to performers," wrote music scholar and tabla player Aneesh Pradhan in his book, Chasing the Raag Dream. This story, parts of which are likely apocryphal, showcases how Mumbai functioned as the beating heart of classical music in the country since the 19th century. Among the brightest stars of that tradition, Ustad Zakir Hussain, died earlier this week. Hussain, born in Mumbai's Mahim, was the son of Ustad Alla Rakha Khan, a tabla virtuoso, who accompanied sitar maestro Pandit Rav
