The Australian Voices 
When The Australian Voices sings, it is ‘as if the gates of heaven [have] opened,’ (New York Times, 2013). A thirty-year legacy established by Stephen Leek and Graeme Morton; The Australian Voices has championed an astonishing flourish of new Australian pieces, commissioning hundreds of works, releasing eleven albums, and touring internationally. Boasting acclamations and five-star reviews worldwide, a new era of ‘vocal pyrotechnics’ (Limelight, 2023) is brought to life by Artistic Director John Rotar. Sure to leave every audience in awe, one can only imagine what this ensemble will do next. [website] Jumping Fences 
Jumping Fences’ songs traverse working lives, migration and exile, and everyday hopes and joys. Their long association with Latin American music resonates deeply in their own compositions. They toured to Cuba in 2017 and 2018, and nationally they have performed at numerous festivals and venues in South-East Queensland and Victoria. They have composed songs for choirs and conducted workplace songwriting and performance projects in association with the Qld Council of Unions. They have released five recordings, most recently ‘Satellites’. You can listen to a selection of songs on Spotify, Youtube or Apple Music. [website] |
