Kazakhstan may not have been on the group’s top list of places to go. However, the festival allowed the choristers, with their conductor Paul Holley, to explore its capital city, Astana.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to being a part of such a massive event which celebrates choral singing, while also promoting a more peaceful world,\u201d Mr Paul Holley OAM said.<\/p>\n

The International Choir Festival “Astana- The Voice of the World”<\/a> is a gathering of some of the world\u2019s best choirs.<\/p>\n

Astana hosted the event from 5 to 11 October 2018. The choir festival was part of the Sixth Congress of Religious Leaders which is one of the world\u2019s most important religious diplomacy events.<\/p>\n

The festival included musical performances and flash-mobs as well as master classes by the world\u2019s leading choir experts and judges. The festival concluded with the Gala concert. It involved 500 young singers from five continents, representing different faiths, performing in support of the world without terrorism.<\/p>\n

Voices of Birralee<\/a> was established by Julie Christiansen OAM in 1995. Since then, they have enjoyed several enriching tours. Some of their destinations included France and Belgium as part of a current five-year commitment to the Department of Veterans\u2019 Affairs to sing at WW1 Centenaries. They’ve also been to Canada, Austria, England, Korea, and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Choristers from the Voices of Birralee certainly made Australia proud as they took part in the massed choir pieces conducted by Hungarian, G\u00e1bor Hollerung, and Demeyuov Beimbet from Kazakhstan. It wasn’t an easy feat as the choristers worked hard in getting everything right with the Kazakh and Russian pronunciations.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the eight singers, aged 19 \u201330, are from a range of occupations including students, musicians, surveyors, and marketers, brought together by their love of music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
