Many Roads One Voice
A choral event embracing diversity, uniting cultures and celebrating Central Australia through song.

The Alice Desert Festival HUB Space will resound with the sublime power of the human voice when one of the largest choirs ever assembled in Central Australia gathers for one night only at the “Many Roads One Voice” choir event, produced by CAAMA Music.

Four of Australia’s leading vocal talents will converge in Alice Springs to work with 8 Central Australian choirs - the Alice Springs Choral Society, Asante Sana, Titjikala Choir, Areyonga Choir, Yipirinya School, Yirara College, Steiner School and the Living Waters School - over 200 voices in all to present a tapestry of songs that express the cultural diversity of the Central Australian community. The song material will pay special tribute to the contribution that Indigenous people make to Central Australia through choral arrangements of many of the classic songs recorded at the CAAMA studios over its 25 year history.

Indigenous singer/songwriters Kutcha Edwards and Emma Donovan, from the highly acclaimed production Murundak - The Black Arm Band, will entertain us with their powerful, soulful and inspirational voices. They will be joined by ARIA award winning singer/songwriter Kavisha Mazzella, well renowned for her incredible work as founder and conductor of the vivacious Melbourne based Italian Women’s Choir, “La Voce Della Luna” and Rachel Hore, “one of Australia’s finest singers” and one of the most highly sought after community choir leaders in the country.

“Many Roads One Voice” is the theme of the Alice Desert Festival 08 and reminds us that while culturally we have walked many different roads, there is a multicultural community that speaks with one voice for equality and justice for all.
