Melbourne International Singers Festival 2019 Presents Three Fantastic Events On Day One
The 10th anniversary Melbourne International Singers Festival has commenced, with three fabulous events on day one. Starting with our pre-school BE KIND concert and launch starring award winning 'Pevan & Sarah's' new anti-bullying single, featuring THECHO!R and Choir of Hard Knocks. Even the smallest acts of kindness can help in the effort to eradicate bullying.
A vocal workshop Permission to Shine followed, with senior singers honing their skills with award winning singer & teacher Dr Jonathon Welch AM. Day one was rounded out with our inaugural Rock Choir, led by two of Australia's music legends, Grace Knight (Eurogliders) & Jonathon (Choir of Hard Knocks) complete with a live band.
We're just getting started ..... and can't wait for the rest of the Festival, as choirs from around Australia join us, with acclaimed conductor & arranger George Torbay and award winning singer, songwriter and conductor Kavisha Mazzella AM as guest conductors. We are also delighted to welcome back the award winning jazz quartet 'The Velvetones'.
