Our recent Songs of Hope & Healing concert was a great success bringing joy and inspiration to the audience and artists alike.
Songs of Hope & Healing is held annually as a benefit concert for HEAL, a charity providing expressive therapies in schools for young people from refugee backgrounds.
This year’s concert was headlined by powerhouse soul and blues vocalist Mahalia Barnes (daughter of Jimmy Barnes) and showcased an incredible range of artists across different cultures and genres.
For the final number, Bridge Over Troubled Water, all the artists took to the stage joining the 27 strong QPAC Chamber Choir.
The eclectic mix, from the 20-piece Matt Hsu’s Obscure Orchestra featuring Tenzin Choegyal, and the Irish Band Sásta, to JADE New World Collective, Yalanj Woman of Song Deline Briscoe, and Mahalia Barnes accompanied by her house band, brought the uplifting and entertaining evening to a close, and the audience to a standing ovation.
