Four of Australia’s finest vocalists come together in a visionary performance combining heavenly vocals in a chamber setting. AVÉ is an elite chamber ensemble that is warm and welcoming to all, using the human voice to tell the stories of our time and place through song. Katie Noonan’s new project, Australian Vocal Ensemble, will intertwine new Australian compositions by Anne Cawrse, Robert Davidson, Thomas Green, Alice Humphries, Zac Hurren, Stephen Leek, Katie Noonan and Jessica Wells, alongside new arrangements of music by Bach, Handel and Tomás Luis de Victoria, exploring the extrodinary vocal music from the late Renaissance and Baroque era, all set to the words of Australian poet David Malouf.
Sunday, October 8
Doors 2pm, Concert 3pm
Don’t miss an opportunity to see a truly unique performance of soaring vocals as they celebrate the release of their debut album ‘Stars’.
AVÉ is four of Australia’s finest, internationally renowned vocalists, a treat to host for Goulburn here at the Hume Conservatorium. On their first national tour this year and soon to record their debut album, this is a concert we know Goulburn and surrounds does not want to miss. Katie Noonan, after extensive yet ambitious planning launched Australian Vocal Ensemble, or AVÉ, recruiting three extraordinarily talented Australian vocalists- Tenor Andrew Goodwin from Sydney, Mezzo-Soprano Fiona Campbell of Perth and Bass Baritone Andrew O’Connor, also of Sydney. Katie set out to illustrate Queensland’s creative leadership in creating a professional, classical vocal quartet, now uniquely the only one like it in Australia. Their uniquely crafted repertoire blends both old and new to demonstrate Australian music history and culture- from the old of spiritual late renaissance and early baroque, or the golden age of vocal polyphonic and quartet writing, to the new Australian music of the 20th and 21st century. This is a unique, valuable experience to explore a talented, crafted blend of new Australian performers, alongside Indigenous songs and Renaissance and Baroque pieces, all blended with brand new works. All programs feature new Australian music and engagement with our First Nations community.
“‘Yes, we are dreaming big- starting a new arts organisation in the middle of a global pandemic, but as Uncle Kev Carmody so eloquently said, from little things, big things grow, and we have big and bold dreams.’ These dreams include employing singers, commissioning 10+ Australian composers per year, working with some 250 vocal students and 450 community singers each year, mentoring an emerging quartet, performing to 3500 regional audience members across Queensland and to a national metropolitan audience of more than 5000 each year.”

Join talented and experienced musicians Ewa Poblocka and David Pereira as they pay tribute to the renowned, influential musician Frederic Chopin on the first annual Friend’s of Chopin‘s Australian Chopin Festival. There is no one more qualified to entertain Goulburn with Chopin and friend’s tribute- Poblocka having won the tenth international Frederic Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw (1980), the International Viotti Music Competition in Vercelli (1977) and the International Festival of Young Laureates in Bordeaux (1979). She graduated with Honours from the Academy of Music in Gdansk, 1981. Poblocka has an extensive list of countries she’s performed in- from throughout Europe and the Americas to Singapore, South Korea, China and Japan, and of course, Australia. She is also the first polish pianist in history to record both volumes of Das Wohltemperierte Klavier by Bach.
Pereira is an Australian born Cellist, graduated from Sydney Conservatorium in 1974 before spending the next few years studying at Indiana University, before he was invited back home to join the Australian Chamber Orchestra as Principal Cellist and the Australian Ensemble in 1980. In the late 80s he was Principal Cellist in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. He spent a large chunk of the 90s and 2000s as Senior Lecturer for Cello at the Canberra school of Music (now the ANU school of music) and has since been part-time employed there. David is regarded as one of Australia’s most significant and talented practicing musicians.
Wednesday, 16th August, 6pm
In collaboration with Dianna Nixon of Wild Voices Music Theatre, Hume Conservatorium brings to Goulburn and surrounds a valuable learning experience for senior students in drama, dance, music and voice, as well as teachers, directors, musical director and performing artists. Chris Nolan, a leading voice teacher with extensive experience in musical theatre and contemporary commercial music styles, will present his workshop ‘What Next?’
Chris Nolan has an extensive list of achievements under his musical belt including his role as vocal coach for the lead on the national tour of Elvis: The Musical, preparations for the covers Chris in Miss Saigon and Elphaba for the upcoming tour of Wicked, and has coached performers in Hamilton, The Lion King, Moulin Rouge, West Side Story, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Tina- The Musical, Come From Away and Mary Poppins. His feats have earned him the title of becoming one of the world’s first certified Singing Athlete trainers, a new system based on the brain being utilised coaching many of Broadway’s leading performers. On top of this, he is the first PhD researcher who has conducted research with this group of performers.
Dianna Nixon, Chris’ host for the region from Wild Voices Music Theatre, provides additional insight for those training in the performing arts, with frequent experience working with singers and dancers to provide them and their teachers and choreographers a valuable learning experience while reinforcing sound pedagogic principles.
Chris’ interactive workshop ‘What Next?’ will be a valuable, unmissable learning experience for vocal performers providing them with insight into the transition between developing work in their hometown to further their life on the stage or roles that support staged performance.
The Spooky Men’s Chorale – National Tour 2023:
Sunday, 6th August: 11am Workshop, 3pm Concert
“Men, singing songs. Some of them are funny.”
The Spooky Men’s Chorale, described as a “tsunami of Gregorian male voice polyphony” (The Scotsman, 2018), are coming to Goulburn this August with their absurd and grandeur renditions of two Ukrainian song’s and Yothu Yindi’s ‘Treaty,’ amongst much more in their unique, vast and rumbling take on the ‘twin pillars of grand foolishness and the quest for the perfect subwoofer-rattling boofchord.’ Combining elements of music and theatre to create a unique performance and musical experience, the Spooky Men’s Chorale is a rare experience locals don’t want to miss.
Under their belt the Spooky Men’s Chorale has a vast history of gigs that’ve turned their audience teary-eyed or loose jawed in awe since their formation in 2001. Over 750 gigs including 8 major festivals in the UK and their seven recorded albums depict their motifs of ‘Georgian male polyphony, a running joke on man as a vast, oblivious useless object, whispers of clown, bouffon and Monty Python, and forays into massively pleasurable grunting tribalism.’
Does the listening experience sound like it won’t quite be enough? Well, you’re in luck- the Spooky Men’s Chorale are doing a workshop prior to their concert, the ‘Sing Like a Bloke Workshop,’ and it’s not excusive to men. Spots go for $20 concession and $30 full, worth the experience for anyone who enjoys singing or wants to expand their skills.
