Special Presentation by Deborah Cheetham

You are invited to this very special performance and presentation by indigenous soprano, actor and author Deborah Cheetham hosted by Monash University Law Faculty and the Law Faculty Equity and Diversity Committee.

'Til the Black Lady Sings

For more than 17 years, Deborah Cheetham has pursued a successful career as a freelance classical soprano and in that time has been the only classically trained indigenous soprano in Australia.

It has long been Deborah's belief that there are great indigeneous voices that go unheard due to lack of opportunity and a clearly defined pathway.

What if Australian indigenous voices became the new sound in opera around the world?
What if there was a way to encourage young indigenous singers and musicians to tell their stories through the medium of opera?

'Til the Black Lady Sings is the story of Deborah's journey towards achieving this goal and discovering herself along the way.

Time: 11.45 am for a 12 noon start
