SUMMARY:Concert: Singing for peace around the world
DESCRIPTION:The SINGING FOR PEACE AROUND THE WORLD concert is being held at the Gaelic Club\, Surry Hills on Sunday afternoon 4th August (3-7pm). \nCome and join in this opportunity to share uplifting\, healing\, challenging and participatory songs and poems about war and peace. \nMaurie Mulheron has been singing peace songs and protest songs since the 60s. He is a very engaging performer who unites audiences in song\, getting them to participate in the style of the immortal Pete Seeger. Maurie plays several instruments and is joined by friends Deanne Dale (vocals & percussion)\, Stafford Sanders (vocals\, guitar\, mandolin)\, Russell Neal (vocals\, bass)\, Christina Mimmocchi (vocals\, sax)\, and Margaret Walters (vocals). \nLarissa Kovalchuk is an enchanting singer\, accompanying herself on the multi-stringed bandura\, the Ukrainian national instrument \nMooncatchers is a Newtown-based women’s choir that sings songs in a variety of styles and to honour the experiences and stories of women including many empowering songs of peace and freedom. Christina Mimmocchi is the musical director. \nPerSisters is a duo of Margaret Walters and Christina Mimmocchi – both carriers of the folk tradition – choose strong songs about women\, social justice and peace. \n2 DIVAS: Darlene Proberts and Mary\, Queen of Sax will sing uplifting songs of hope. Darlene is a Wiradjuri woman from Dubbo. \nMiguel Heatwole and Sophie Moore are from the trio\, Song Brother. They’ll be singing thought-provoking songs with searing harmonies. Miguel is the director of environmental choir\, Ecopella\, recording engineer and composer. Sophie is a member of two of Miguel’s groups\, Song Brother\, Andsome Friends. She also sings with The Fossickers. \nOur MC\, Colin Hesse\, former Australian Greens Councillor on the Inner West Council\, was heavily involved in the local community for nearly 40 years\, campaigning for many progressive reforms. Colin is a volunteer presenter on Radio Skid Row 88.9FM\, is an active supporter of live music\, and a member of the Marrickville Peace Group.
