THE AUSTRALIAN VOICES SINGS MALENY
About
When The Australian Voices sings, it is “as if the gates of heaven [have] opened,” (New York Times, 2013).
Founded by Stephen Leek and Graeme Morton in 1993, this Brisbane-based vocal ensemble was created with the purpose of promoting the new and ever-changing genre of Australian choral music. Since then, the choir has championed an astonishing flourish of new Australian pieces, having commissioned hundreds of works, releasing eleven albums, and touring internationally.
Receiving five-star reviews from the New York Times and Limelight Magazine, The Australian Voices has brought their distinctly Australian sound to audiences in Guatemala, Mexico, China, the UK, Germany, New Caledonia, USA, Palestine, Woodford Folk Festival and Hobart Festival of Voices.
Beyond their solo adventures, the ensemble has worked with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Hobart Chamber Orchestra, Topology, One Equal Music and countless more choirs and ensembles, sharing their unique repertoire with all corners of the globe.
Celebrating their thirtieth anniversary, The Australian Voices now ventures into a new era under the artistic direction of John Rotar, flowing with the everchanging, living and breathing music that Australia produces. With such a rich, young history, one can only imagine what this ensemble will do next.
