IF I CAN NOT FLY LET ME SING
Picture
SING-A-LONG-A SOUND OF MUSIC

A surprise celebrity host will guide the audience through what is an unforgettable interactive experience and tribute to the very unique film The Sound of Music.

See the classic movie on the big screen, re-mastered to its original cinematic glory. Admit it, you know the words – and if you don’t there are song-sub-titles so EVERYONE can sing a-long! Sing-A-Long –A Sound of Music is an audience participation event where the host leads a vocal warm-up, gives a guide to the use of the interactive fun pack and accompanying actions and (with a little help from the audience) judges the Costume Parade - a highlight of the night that separates the die-hards from the dabblers!

An overwhelming force takes over, as delirious fans cheer on Julie Andrews, wolf-whistle Christopher Plummer, hiss the Baroness and boo the Nazis! And who could forget the glorious moment when Maria and the Captain finally kiss? Not to mention the experience of 2000 party poppers going off simultaneously as their lips touch!


The costumes worn by the audience are truly inspiring. A sea of black and white floods the foyer of the State Theatre year after year as fans eagerly dressed as nuns gather for the show and sing a few of their favourite songs. Audience members have dressed as anything and everything from the movie.... Maria, girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, Plumbers (Christopher Plummers!) the Alps, brown paper packages tied up with string, goats (with or without lonely goatherds), larks that are learning to pray – the possibilities are endless..... limited only by your imagination.
 
So what are you waiting for? Frock up for the ultimate musical affirmation; a celebration of nature, spirituality, love, family, patriotism, and goodness, combined with perfectly pitched songs, and the screen presence of feisty, Julie Andrews.

Round up your favourite friends, take your vows, and tear down the curtains, whip up a cozzie, clear your throats, 
fill your lungs and take your seats to become stars of the world’s favourite musical.

“Sing-A-Long-A Sound of Music is like the most cathartic rock gig experience! There was love in the theatre last night.” – LA TIMES

Review: A-LONG-A SOUND OF MUSIC’ – Event review
(Melbourne Arts Centre, State Theatre – 16 & 17 August 2013)
A most original and interactive musical event that was built around the original
1965 film, The Sound of Music (with Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer).
It was a time for the audience to dress up and also sing along (helped by
subtitles). Preceding the film, there was a lot of fun on the stage with children,
nuns, animals and a variety of characters from the musical (200 plus).
The lively audience participation was uplifting and added to the timeless and
wonderful Sound of Music!

Playing a famous collection of Stradivarius instruments, the Tokyo String Quartet will perform Schubert’s last, magnificent quartet and a masterpiece of late Beethoven, alongside the work written for them by Peter Sculthorpe, Bartók’s ultimate work in this genre – ‘The way he expressed himself through music is universal, that’s why his music has such power,’ adds Kazuhide Isomura.

"THERE WERE CONGRATULATIONS AND HIGH SIXES ALL ROUND"
                                                                                              
by Richie Benaud
Picture
TRIO BENAUD 
The boys are bowling critics for six internationally with this recording – more than can be said for their beloved cricket team in the Ashes! Today's concert was marvelous - not even a quarter of a tone was misplayed - so rich the performance and so harmonically perfect the sound was. We listened to Bohemian Rhapsody (Freddie Mercury) beautifully arranged for piano/violin and cello are by a young and talented Australian composer Nicholas Buc (who also kindly greeted us at the reception)

; the second music piece played was Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven - this piece performed by them that had more than 9mln hits of iTUNES.
The boys from the Benaud Trio (Amir Farid - piano, Lachlan Bramble - violin, and Ewen Bramble - celloare) are back with a new recording Bohemian Rhapsody (by prestigious Melba Recording), and were celebrating it at The South Melbourne Town Hall today in the morning – where they recorded it.

Jeanne Pratt (Victorian of the Year) was be Guest of Honour and spoke at the reception.
I am placing a link for those of you keen to buy the new CD Bohemian Rhapsody: . One copy of the Bohemian Rhapsody CDs was given to Bohemian Rhapsody Club (what a coincidence indeed!) (signed as a gift by all three musicians-virtuosi) - the music samples you will have an opportunity to hear at our upcoming October concert where Amir Farid will be performing live solo piano.
there is also one more announcement on Benaud Trio: the next concert at the Recital Centre "Hymns and Hits" - will take place Saturday September 21 2013. 3pm and 6pm (for your diaries).

Eliza is saying: I ‘m really excited about my new clip ‘Without Words.’ It was shot really on an impulse and because of that I’m really proud of it. It’s simple. It was funny when we were shooting it we had a huge pack of cows that were looking at us the whole time. They kept us company. Thank you Jeremy Bowtell who shot it, produced it and edited it! So very talented.
