RIVER SONG

Memories in Story and Song Written and performed by CarmaRose Riversong is an urgent, emotive celebration of the mighty River Murray, revealing the role rivers play in our lives – past, present and future. Conversations from across kitchen tables inspire real characters and stories in an unfolding narrative. Stories of historic pioneering adversity, drawn from first-hand reportage reveal the spirit of rural Australia in an historical and contemporary lense. The original songs and folk-inspired score, supported by local artists’ immersive imagery, flow with the energy of the River itself. The spirit of country Australia, with Riversong touring traditional Halls and Venues, is a journey of humour, heartbreak, and courage. The story is deeply engaging and serves as a nod to the illustrious days of river trade, while acknowledging the challenges of today’s changing landscape. Riversong, a love letter to the Murray-Darling River. A warm and heartfelt journey… the interdependence of nature and humankind. Peter J Adams : Director Chris Mangan: Music Director
