Opera star joins Elder Con
Teddy Tahu Rhodes is an internationally
recognised opera singer who now lends his
voice to the Elder Conservatorium of Music
– playing a lead role in its Classical Voice
department as a teacher and mentor.
“I feel privileged to now be in the
position to support students and feel a great
sense of responsibility to inspire and mentor
a new generation of young singers at Elder,”
the famed baritone says.
In one of his first appearances after
taking on the role, Teddy Tahu Rhodes was a
guest performer at the Waite 100 Gala event
in May, celebrating the centenary of the
Waite Gift.
Mapping colonial
encounters
A new interactive story map exploring
colonial encounters in South Australia
between Aboriginal peoples and European
settlers has been developed.
The South Australian Frontier and its
Legacies geo-linked story tool maps
encounters up to the late 19th century
and records how these events have been
remembered from region to region.
Project Manager Dr Skye Krichauff
explains:
“WE HAVE BEEN WORKING
WITH COMMUNITIES TO
RECORD ORAL HISTORIES
RELATING TO THE FRONTIER
AND ITS LEGACIES, AND BY
LISTENING TO AUDIO AND
READING TRANSCRIPTS,
WEBSITE USERS CAN HEAR
ABORIGINAL PEOPLE’S AND
SETTLER DESCENDANTS’
VOICES.”
