Primrose Potter Salon – Melbourne Recital Centre – 31 Sturt St Southbank.
Join Shauna Beesley and friends for an evening of music and poetry written for, by and
about our ANZACS. This concert features the Australian première of Shauna Beesley’s
song cycle Lest We Forget, sung by dynamic baritone Nicholas Beecher, with the
composer at the piano. Also on the program is the glorious soprano, Lisette Bolton and
eminent voice actor Tim Dehn, who will read texts and poems relating to WW1 and
WW2.
Discover the works of forgotten ANZAC composers Willie B. Manson and F.S. Kelly,
whose songs will be sung alongside equally beautiful works by their French
counterparts – Hahn, Debussy, Poulenc. Lest We Forget is a concert event not to be
missed, seamlessly blending art and remembrance at this important time in our
calendar.
All money raised from this concert will go to the Brigidine Asylum Seekers Project.
