Music NT’s Indigenous Music Development Officer Micah Wenitong clocked up miles again in 2010, on many a music mission!
In September he traveled to Tennant Creek to work with musicians at the Desert Harmony Arts & Cultural Festival (poster below), Saturday 4th – Sunday 5th of September.
From there he travelled to Alice Springs, September 6-12th, to be a part of the Bush Bands Business (BBBiz) mentoring, education and professional development program for musicians performing at the 2010 Bush Bands Bash, held at Ross River Resort and presented by Music NT. Micah also supported the bands performing at the Bush Bands Bash gig, on September 11, from 6pm, at Alice Desert Festival.
After a big week in Alice, Micah journeyed from Central Australia to far northern NT, to Milingimbi just off the coast of Arnhem Land, to work with musicians living in the Milingimbi Community (Friday 17th – Tue 28th September).
These events were all part of NT Music Month, presented by Music NT.
