Performers

Sisongke is a joyous dynamic community choir based in Hobart. The name "Sisongke" means "together" in Zulu, which reflects our origins as an "African" choir, 20 years ago. 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 we sing without any instruments. Sometimes the odd drum or wind instrument creeps in, but no loud electronic instruments or orchestras.

I'm in Year 12 at Calvin Christian School and I've loved singing ever since I was a little girl. I always loved watching musicals and singing along, and I did singing lessons in Grades 8, 9, and 10. I want to be a teacher when I finish school, because I've always loved working with kids. (I volunteer with Kids Church at my Church, and I teach swimming part time.)

Beulah Song are a local 5-piece female band who have been performing at charity and community events across Tasmania over the past ten years, playing original music with a mix of folk, gospel, and Celtic influences. Hobart based, Beulah Song members are songwriter/lead vocalist - Karen Greatbatch, singer/songwriter/guitarist - Ruth Jones, musician/director - Beth Lincolne, Bassist - Carolan Hands, and percussionist Megan Townsend.
