Lutruwita Art Orchestra

RESPECT | COURAGE | ARTISTRY THROUGH DIVERSITY

Welcome ...

Formed in 2023, the Lutruwita Art Orchestra is a creative ensemble of musicians, diverse in age, gender, sexuality, cultural background, and musical genre, dedicated to telling under-represented stories through sound. Our work blends orchestral and improvisational traditions with influences from across the globe - creating music that’s raw, poetic, and truly world-class.
