Haven - Boite Millennium Chorus 20th Concert

August 20, 2017, 2:30pm - August 20, 2017, 2:00am

The Boite presents Haven A place of refuge, of safety. A harbour. The Boite Millennium Chorus will perform its 20th concert, ‘Haven’, bringing songs from the Seychelles, Africa, East Timor, Chile, the Caribbean and Indigenous Australia to thousands of Melburnians. This year, the songs selected for the concert include works composed and sung in English, Senegalese, Tsonga, Seychellois, Spanish, Tetum and Indigenous Australian (Yolngu and Pitjantjatjara) languages. Each song relates to the theme of ‘Haven’ through stories of seeking refuge and freedom, finding a home, falling in love, feeling safe, embracing change and nurturing hope. In a massive undertaking, the hundreds of singers from Mallacoota in far east Victoria to Ballarat and Geelong in the west, from Albury-Wodonga in the north, Castlemaine, and the Mornington Peninsula and Melbourne in the south, gather for weekly rehearsals in their region for the three months leading up to the concert. This concert celebrates the work of seven outstanding directors—Andrea Khoza, Jane Thompson, James Rigby, Stella Savy, Carl Pannuzzo, Penny Larkins, and Geoffrey Williams—brought together under the guidance of Boite director Roger King. The concert will also feature notable soloists and musicians from diverse backgrounds: Mitch Tambo, Jess Hitchcock, Sally Ford, Lamine Sonko, Darrel Belle, and Valanga Khoza. Master storyteller, writer, human rights activist and much-loved Melbourne narrator, Arnold Zable will complement the concert with his insightful and surprising stories reflecting on the notion of ‘haven’. Goanna band’s 1980s hit song Solid Rock performed in Pitjantjatjara by a 250-voice choir will be one of the many spine-tingling highlights of a most extraordinary and moving concert. "The choir stood and their first note literally sent shivers up my arm" - The Au Review, 2015 More info: www.boite.com.au (03) 9417 3550 Media contact: Diana Wolfe, Wolfe Words diana@wolfewords.com.au Artwork: Sniff Sniff Studio Gelareh Pour Supported by Creative Victoria
