Sing with Barayagal Choir - National Reconciliation Week

Enjoy a special performance by Barayagal Choir, followed by  a 40-minute interactive workshop where you'll learn and sing a song together. We welcome people of all nationalities to attend and learn about First Nations culture, stories and songs. 

The theme of National Reconciliation Week 2026 is ‘All In’. As part of this we’ll  sing this year’s song, Beds Are Burning, which was written and performed by Midnight Oil and released in 1987. Beds Are Burning is a powerful call to action for justice and reconciliation, encouraging Australians to know our history and work toward a more equitable future for all. 

In 2026, Reconciliation Australia celebrates its 25th anniversary. Join Voices for Reconciliation and sing Beds Are Burning alongside hundreds of choirs around the country. 

Barayagal Choir is a community choir, hosted by the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and the University of Sydney. They meet weekly at Redfern Community Centre. 

This free event is open to all ages.
