Every part of Australia is,
always was and always will be,
Aboriginal land.

As a community gathering-place, a festival of arts, cultural exchange and celebration and as a site for the sharing of ideas and stories, Ten Days on the Island pays respect to the Palawa/Tasmanian Aborigines – The original owners and cultural custodians - of all the lands and waters across Lutruwita/Tasmania upon which our Festival takes place.

With thanks to the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre for place names and other words in palawa kani, the language of Tasmanian Aborigines.

Multi-ARIA award nominee composer and Tar (Iranian lute) virtuoso, Hamed Sadeghi brings with him three world-class musicians for a brand new work, Empty Voices.

In this unique, jazz-influenced ensemble, Sadeghi is joined by Paul Cutlan (bass clarinet) Lloyd Swanton (double Bass) and Adem Yilmaz (percussion) for a special performance of melancholic and spellbinding compositions exclusively for Pataway/Burnie.

Influenced by Persian Sufism philosophy, Sadeghi says,“to be able to love someone or something honestly you need to be able to let yourself dissolve”. Empty Voices allows you to do just that. Contemplating the notion of love with a musical homage to ancestral Persian culture, Sadeghi uses a mix of classical and contemporary music traditions of both East and West.

Join us for a unique performance and let this music spread through your heart
