Across 11 days, YIRRAMBOI Festival will showcase over 150 events from more than 250 First Nations artists.
From Thursday May 6 until Sunday May 16, more than 250 First Nations artists will come together to present Melbourne’s YIRRAMBOI Festival, featuring over 150 events championing the evolution and diversity of cultures dating back more than 65,000 years.
YIRRAMBOI, meaning “tomorrow” in the shared languages of the Boonwurrung and Woiwurrung people, will feature theatre, film, exhibitions, talks, fashion parades, family-friendly events, circus performances, drag and much more with no two events being the same.
YORK Minster’s Grand Organ will be played in a service on Sunday for the first time in more than two years, following the completion of a £2 million, once-in-a-century refurbishment. A prayer will be said for the organ during a live-streamed Eucharist service at 11am, before it is played at services throughout Lent and is then dedicated by the Archbishop of York at Evensong on Easter Day, Sunday April 4. A programme of events to celebrate the organ’s return will be announced later this year. The instrument was last played during worship in October 2018 before work began to remove it, including nearly all of its 5,000 plus pipes, and take it to organ specialists in Durham for cleaning, repair and replacement.
