Méli-mélo started about 10 years ago with conductor Rene Rime. They sing in a variety of European languages in 4-part harmony. They have sung for Mona, Alliance Francaise, the Sunday market in Hobart, and have combined with other choirs for a variety of concerts. Méli-mélo is group of mixed people of all age groups, from all walks of life who all love to sing. We are all good friends, like family. We love to socialise together and sing! The program consists of mixed music in various languages, mostly European and various styles including traditional folk songs, classical and popular pieces. They sing accompanied or acapella. Méli-mélo in French can mean a mixture, a hodgepodge, or an assortment! Just like their repertoire!
The ladies from the WENYI Tas Group will demonstrate traditional Chinese dancing and sing some songs. The WENYI Tas Group is an arts group which encourages people to sing and dance.
Sisongke Choir will sing a variety of songs from around the world, ranging from the exciting beat of Africa to the exotic music of China.
