The Multicultural Festival is organised by Multicultural Affairs, Department of the Premier and Cabinet, and is the State Government’s flagship event for promoting and showcasing multiculturalism in South Australia.

The Multicultural Festival embodies the concept of interculturalism, which describes a dynamic inclusion of and interaction between all cultures within the community, from which all of society benefits.

Held every second year since 2013, the Multicultural Festival features multiple stages, intercultural activities and stalls for community groups to showcase their cultural heritage through art, craft, food, dance, music and activities in a large-scale, positive and celebratory platform.

The 2021 Multicultural Festival is scheduled to be held on Sunday 14 November from 11am – 5pm  in Victoria Square/ Tarntanyangga, Adelaide.

Noriko Tadano’s performance time is TBC as the program is yet to be released.

In a dynamic musical pairing, renowned Japanese Shamisen virtuoso Noriko Tadano collaborates with multi-award winning film composer and sound designer Adam Ritchie to present an exciting new instrumental work.

Created during the development of a theatre project titled ‘Yasha’s Lullaby’, their performance will share a curated section of the production’s soundtrack morphing traditional Japanese music with live modular synths. Blurring the line between music and sound design, this collaboration is yet another example of Noriko breaking boundaries and creating new, unique works with local Australian artists.

This is a free event suitable for all ages.

Presented by Adelaide Festival Centre’s  OzAsia Festival

This performance will be presented in person and live streamed.

Old traditions and imbalances collide in a powerful modern themed musical theatre production constructed by Noriko Tadano. Exploring confronting issues that women still face in this modern world, Noriko uses her Shamisen, voice and experiences to shine a blinding light on the lack of real progress.

Adelaide Festival Centre’s inSPACE program is a cutting-edge, grassroots and innovative program that supports some of South Australia’s most talented, independent artists. See hot new talent across all art forms including: theatre, dance, visual arts and music. Be part of the artistic conversation: sharing, contributing and discovering how art is created behind the scenes. This creative blurring of the line between artist and audience reinforces Adelaide Festival Centre’s philosophy – Arts for All – that the arts belong to everyone.

Creating contemporary music with traditional instruments and looping techniques, Adam Page’s music skills are paired with master shamisen virtuoso and vocalist Noriko Tadano. This premiere collaboration will feature a mixture of instruments including the Indian Bansuri flute and the Japanese shamisen. These two WOMADelaide alumni join forces to forge a melting pot of cultural influences and technology, for a fun-filled musical journey across Asia.

Performance by Noriko Tadano as part of the ‘Art After Hours’ series, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australia.

‘Art After Hours’ is a series held Wednesday evening where the Art Gallery of NSW offers a regular program of live music, lectures and celebrity talks, drawing workshops, film screenings, gallery tours and, of course, nocturnal access to its latest exhibitions.

The Japan Supernatural exhibition presents wildly imaginative works by Japanese artists past and present – from the pioneering work of the 18th-century painter Toriyama Sekien to contemporary superstar Takashi Murakami.

The original music was designed to respond to the themes of the exhibition featuring Noriko Tadano on voice, shamisen and kokyu and Toshi Sakamoto of Wadaiko Rindo on taiko percussion. Japan Supernatural was a finalist in the international Museum and the Web GLAMi (The Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums Innovation) Awards 2020.
