Applause for Lithuanian community musician

From listening to her immigrant parents and their friends sing Lithuanian songs late into the night to playing the organ every Sunday at St Casimir Chapel, music has been a big part of Nemira Stapleton’s life. The 2024 Order of Australia Medal recipient shared her story.
