That's a wrap for our Queensland in Song Concert Series 2022. Voices of Birralee celebrated everything Queensland on Sunday 5 and Friday 10 June 2022. Concert 1 featured our signature choirs, Resonance of Birralee, Birralee Blokes and Brisbane Birralee Voices and celebrated Queensland composers Joseph Twist, Astrid Jorgensen, Peter Ingram, Will Brown, Jo Davie and Powderfinger. New music was premiered, a very special piece by Charulatha Mani which incorporated Indian Carnatic music and inspired by the Brisbane River.
At the second concert, Queensland schools paid tribute to all things Queensland. The Birralee Singers where joined by choirs from Ascot State School, Eagle Junction State School, Genesis Christian College, Indooroopilly State School, St Laurence's College, The Gap State School and Wilston State School.
As part of concert 2, Queensland composers were again featured - music from Katherine Ruhle, Tim Sherlock and Stuart Gillard was enjoyed by all with the rousing finale of 300 voices onstage for the world premiere of Ally Dunk's piece This Holiday Jam! Emerging composer, Abigail Lui's piece Sandcastles was also premiered.
