The Boite's community of musicians are coming together to help raise funds to support Boite Director, Zulya Kamalova's battle with cancer. 

Zulya has lived in Australia for longer than in her birthplace Tatarstan. She came as a young adventurer and found good reasons to settle here. Since then she has made very significant and substantial contributions to our cultural life. Musically, as a performer, songwriter, arranger, collaborator, she has brought joy to many.

Her ensemble, Zulya and The Children of the Underground, has recorded many albums, won awards and toured nationally and internationally, to huge acclaim. Her work has stretched from traditional to experimental, it’s challenging and adventurous. She has come to call Australia home and is settled here with her family and life.

We look forward to continuing Zulya's vision at The Boite. We seek the support of everyone who Zulya has touched to join us at our Benefit Concert on Sunday 1st September, at the Magdalen Laundry, Abbotsford Convent.
