Sacred Currents INC presents

Sydney Sacred Music Festival

The Festival showcases music, ceremony and art that:

  1. creates new work that is cross cultural

  2. showcases the hidden gems in our many communities

  3. creates events in unique spaces

The Festival provides opportunities for the fantastic artists and traditions of our diverse communities and hopes to build its own community of open minded people who are interested in something larger than themselves.

Sacred Currents has been established as a non for profit organisation to guide the Festival into the future. We have assembled a talented Board to guide us.

The Festival was established by our Festival Director, Richard Petkovic (Cultural Arts Collective) in 2011. The Cultural Arts Collective continues to collaborate with artists and communities across artforms to create unique cultural content that provides a way forward for our diverse community.
