HARMONY Day will be celebrated in song and dance on Wednesday March 21 at Forrestfield Primary School with the Madjitil Moorna choir and more than 150 schoolchildren.

The Ancient Sands-themed night will feature traditional foods and market stalls, along with the launch of a music video inspired by many cultures.

The song titled Ancient Sands is a favourite at school workshops presented by Madjitil Moorna’s Koorlong project, which teaches songs in Noongar language to children across Perth.
