In 2004, one of Australia's most iconic musical duos, Archie Roach and Ruby Hunter, joined forces with Paul Grabowsky's Australian Art Orchestra for an extraordinary performance two years in the making. Kura Tungar: Songs from the River was a multimedia song cycle that recounted the lives of Roach and Hunter - members of the Stolen Generations who found each other - and their unrelenting love of music. Commissioned by Robyn Archer, the show was met with great acclaim and won that year's Helpmann Award for Best Australian Contemporary Concert.
