Vocalists Daniel Wilfred and Sunny Kim form the heart of Hand to Earth, which has quickly developed an international reputation as one of Australia’s most distinctive contemporary music ensembles

Hand to Earth

The quintet has released two albums, which have won international praise including a 2022 ARIA AWARD nomination, and performed in some of the most prestigious venues and festivals in the world including at the iconic Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin, Lincoln Centre New York, Jeonju International Sori Festival (Korea), Luxembourg Philharmonie, and Vancouver Jazz Festival.

Daniel sings in language, and is the keeper of Yolngu Manikay (songs) from North East Arnhem Land that can be traced back for over 40,000 years. His is the oldest continuously practised music tradition in the world.

Phoenix Central Park

Phoenix Central Park is the singular vision of philanthropist Judith Neilson AM, well-known as the founder and owner of Sydney’s prized White Rabbit Gallery and its world renowned collection of contemporary Chinese art. A collection of one-of-a-kind performance spaces in Sydney, including the multi-award winning Phoenix Central Park in Chippendale and a repurposed 19th-century Gothic church in Alexandria, Phoenix Cultural Centre aims to revitalise inner-city neighbourhoods with new cultural beacons that are as bold on the outside as the performances they present within.
