Project Description

2016 marks the 10-year anniversary of OzAsia Festival. As a special celebration event, a Korean music night will be presented on a large outdoor stage in Elder Park on Thursday 29 September from 7pm. This is a FREE music concert event and an anticipated audience of up to 5,000 people is expected to attend.

The two music groups are:

• Danpyunsun and The Sailors, a psychedelic Folk-Rock band that weave Western classical music, gypsy music, folk-pop, and post-rock.
• WeDance, leading Indi-Pop Alternative Duo

OzAsia Festival will also present the Australian premiere of Croquiky Brothers from Korea. A hilarious comedy that includes live drawing of audience members, famous paintings and iconic objects. These two brothers from Korea can dance, draw and play air guitar, often all at the same time. Loaded with clowning, comedy and audience participation, this is a fun show for the whole family.

OzAsia Festival also receives generous support from the Australia-Japan Foundation and Australia-Indonesia Institute.
