May 13 was certainly a fabulous start for Singing Bird Productions, with our first Music and Me concert. Justice Kirby was so generous in his willingness to discuss the personal connections to the music we were performing. I couldn't have asked for more :)
A big thanks to our performers - Melissa, Simon, Andrew and John. There were many magical moments that really engaged our audience - I even caught Justice Kirby closing his eyes, immersed in the music experience.
Thank you also to all the helpers who assisted for the evening.
Wow! It's still a little overwhelming and absolutely very positive.
There'll be a link to upload the audio from the evening, and some photos soon.
So what's next??? A former Premier of NSW......:) Keep Aug 26 free!
It was fascinating to hear the more personal side to HH Justice Kirby's life. His legal CV is well known, but finding out his love for Noel Coward and his views on Empire was unexpected! He almost didn't need an interviewer, as he speaks so well by himself.
ReplyDeleteI thought the night was very well organised and presented. The question of whether music indeed shapes our lives, rather than being a soundtrack to it, is a fascinating one, and the guests lined up to explore that question are sure to give interesting insights into the answer. HH Justice Kirby tended to drift off into tangents in his answers (though I admit those tangents were enjoyable) and not necessarily answer the question asked of him regarding the music. However, his song choice was varied, and all the performers were fantastic - I was impressed by the calibre of the performances, especially given the broad spectrum of musical genres they covered.
All in all, I thought it was fantastic. Well done!
