THE THREE CHINESE TENORS - Friday 20th February, 8pm

3 chinese tenors.colour scan.smaller.jpg

The 3 Chinese Tenors have been acclaimed as “Australia’s answer to Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras” & have been described by the media & audiences alike as “an extraordinary phenomenon.”

Like Hao, these singers left behind distinguished careers in their homeland and undertook a difficult transition in Australia. They took on menial jobs to support themselves and they set about to learn the language in a country which did not recognize their talent.

From those humble beginnings the 3 Chinese Tenors have made their mark. They have performed before hundreds & thousands of people with some of the most prestigious orchestras not only in Australia but worldwide. The tenors have successfully toured parts of Australia & South East Asia, participating in countless spectacular events in some of the most impressive & exotic locations imaginable. Concert halls, theatres, convention centers, auditoriums, historical sites, mansions & outdoor venues overlooking the most dazzling of oceans and spectacular mountains have all been some of the locations the tenors have performed.

One of the group’s proudest moments came on Australia Day when they performed to an audience of over 250,000 at Sydney’s Darling Harbour as a part of Sydney’s bid for the 2000 Olympics.

TONI CHILDS - Keep The Faith Tour - Sunday 15th March 2009
toni childs - photo 2009.smaller for web.jpgAustralian music fans get to experience Toni Childs’ powerful vocals, charismatic live performances and commanding message in her Keep The Faith tour, which encourages people to connect, heal, overcome fear and transform the world through love.
 
Best known for her heavily R&B-influenced Don't Walk Away, Toni Childs hit the big time in 1988, when her critically acclaimed debut album Union went Double Platinum in Australia selling 500,000 albums. The same year she was nominated for three Grammys including Best New Artist.
 
Living on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, Childs has spent the last eight years recovering from the Graves Disease she was diagnosed with in the summer of 1997.  Overcoming her battle with this rare stress disorder, Childs is back from her musical exile giving fans so much more than they might ever have expected.
 
The emotionally hard hitting Keep The Faith performances will have a blend of roots, rock and folk gospel songs that simmer with Childs’ husky vocals and spine tingling lyrics.
 
“Australian audiences have been amongst my biggest supporters and I have a special connection to this country and its people. This is why I’ve chosen to launch my album and tour here before the rest of the world and I just can’t wait to be back,” says Toni Childs.
 
“I have been to Perth, but I have never been to Geraldton.  I can't wait to come and play at your venue.” .
