ThIs Is our first virtual choir, created October-December 2020 on Dharug, Eora and Kuring-gai Land. After performing Ola Gjeilo's 'The Ground' in our final concert in 2019, we were preparing it again for our 'Indomitable Spirit' concert in May 2020. Then, Covid-19 arrived. Like many choirs, we kept going online, or outdoors when permitted. ThIs film Is a record of our year, made to remind ourselves that joy and connection are still available to us, despite dIstance and change.

In 1820, Daly was wrongfully accused of shooting at a local Landowner and condemned to hang.
