… A WORLD FIRST WORKSHOP EXPERIENCE. ONLY AVAILABLE IN TASMANIA.
Festival of Voices could not be more excited to present internationally acclaimed US ensemble; SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCK. Sweet Honey In The Rock is truly something different.
The group has maintained a rich and distinguished legacy as one of the world’s most revered and treasured a cappella ensembles in contemporary music.
Educating, entertaining and empowering, Sweet Honey In The Rock make their way to Tasmania this July, spreading love and compassion, with a strong message.
For six days, singers of all ages and abilities will have the rare opportunity to work alongside, learn from and share the stage with this Grammy Award winning group. An experience guaranteed to resonate for life.
Rooted in African American culture and history, this powerful group of five women possess stunning vocal prowess that captures the complex sounds of blues, spirituals, traditional gospel hymns, rap, reggae, African chants and so much more.
Their collective voice, often accompanied by hand percussion instruments, produces a sound filled with soulful harmonies and intricate rhythms.
Raising their voices to advocate for truth, justice and compassion while addressing the critical issues of democracy, freedom, racism, and economic and social justice, they use a cappella singing and American Sign Language interpretation as dynamic vehicles to empower their audiences and community.
This July (3 to 12), thousands of choristers, singers and music lovers will descend on Hobart to perform and participate in the 2015 Festival of Voices, Australia’s premier celebration of the human voice in many forms. Transforming Hobart into a Singing City, expect a magnificent 10-day program of performances, community events and – uniquely – workshops run by the artists.
