In May 2019, Gondwana Voices will embark on its eleventh international tour under Artistic Director and Founder Lyn Williams AM, travelling to the UK and Germany.
The tour is centred around an invitation to perform Brett Dean’s Vexations and Devotions with the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Vladimir Jurowski. The choir has a long association with this work, having given the premiere of it at the Perth International Arts Festival (2006) and performed it subsequently at the BBC Proms (2007).
London: Thursday 16 May, 7pm

Gondwana Voices and Lyn Williams will be joined by alumni Lotte Betts-Dean, Oliver Boyd, Lauren Easton and Alex Oomens for some special solo performances.
This is a free event and we would love you to pass this message on to any family and friends in the UK and Europe to join us for this very special performance celebrating 30 years of Gondwana Choirs. Join us afterwards for drinks and canapes and a perfect time to catch up with old friends and meet the choir.
