When I was in the US, I went to a classical concert at the Disney Hall in LA... It was painfully snobbish, in a way I had never seen in Australia, even at the Opera House (in Australia, you get that snobbery with theatre, and sometimes opera itself, but rarely classical music), so it doesn't surprise me that some aspects of this are worse over there...
Still, the fact that my local orchestra, as far removed from Minneapolis as it is geographically possible to be, has become quite literally one of the wokest institutions in the land, where, I am not kidding, each concert, a member of the orchestra stands up and recites a spiel of "sovereignty never ceded, you are on stolen land, we are all guilty" is quite something...
Even concert venues are no longer listed in English, but in a made-up Aboriginal conlang, where someone has invented city and town names, literally within the last decade... Because that's how "woke" they are.
Scary. Yet the elites clap along like performing seals, while their money goes to support this utter bullshit.
It really is a surreal time to be living in Australia.
I'm fairly sure the intent is to browbeat people in general to the point that woke zealots are permitted to implement their agenda without public oversight.
You can reverse search this, of course, to figure out where it is:
"The ___ Symphony Orchestra acknowledges the traditional owners and continuing custodians of [Aboriginal conlang place name]/___ [actual English place name]. We pay respect to the Aboriginal community today, and to its Elders past and present.
We recognise a history of truth, which acknowledges the impacts of colonisation upon Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and stand for a future that profoundly respects their stories, culture, language and history."
And that's just the shortened version off the website. The struggle session version they make the musicians recite is even worse/much more aggressive...
Here's an idea of what they are currently asking (i.e. this person is generally refuting their bullshit, and is even more cynical about this than I am):

Man all I've ever done at a concert is sit down. No opportunity for snobbery.

It’s a civic religion, in essence…
You fly on a plane? You hear this. You go to a meeting? Someone recites this.
You go to any public event, you hear this shit…
It’s The Lord’s Prayer, but woke, essentially…

Everyone in Australia at the moment is pushing for the woke re-write of the Australian Constitution that will result in race-based rule.
Dude... You're in Australia. It's a communist shithole. Stop being surprised by it and plan to leave.
