Sisongke Choir: Songs of Suffering
Sisongke is a joyous dynamic community choir based in Hobart, Tasmania.
We are open to everyone, regardless of singing ability. The name Sisongke means ‘together’ in Zulu, which reflects our origins as an ‘African’choir, 25 years ago. But now we sing all sorts of world music, including music from the Pacific Islands, Aboriginal music, Italian, European folk music, etc.
We are an ‘a capella’ choir, which means that (most of the time) we sing without any instruments. Sometimes the odd drum or wind instrument creeps in, but no loud electronic instruments or orchestras.
We are inviting friends and family to a performance by Sisongke Community Choir on 12 September at he Hidden Theatre, Kickstart Arts.
The songs are from around the world and include songs of loss, songs of struggle against oppression and songs of encouragement to hearten people. They are expressions of sadness, stories of suffering and celebrations of victory over adversity. We would love to see you there.
We well perform 2 brackets of 25 minutes with a twenty-minute break between the brackets.
