Songs of the Sea and Sky

The National Boys Choir of Australia gave an outstanding world premiere performance of Songs of the Sea and Sky on July 31st at the Melbourne Recital Centre, as part of their Winter Concert. The songs were performed with great sensitivity and musicality and were very enthusiastically received by the audience. Many thanks to all the boys, to artistic directors Philip Carmody, who conducted the set of pieces, and Peter Casey, and to accompanist Robyn Cochrane. In September the NBCA are off to Hong Kong and China, where they will perform the Songs at a number of very prestigious venues, including the Shanghai He Lu Ting Concert Hall, Hangzhou Grand Theatre, the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing and the Tianjin Concert Hall.
