Monday Nights

Monday Nights has been singing and occasionally performing together for more than 30 years. Their repertoire includes folk, gospel and songs that range from the 17th century to modern day pop music. Sometimes their music is accompanied by piano, guitar and viola but tonight’s performance features their a capella songs.


Featuring:

Breathing Space

Breathing Space

Breathing Space is a women’s choir which grew out of a project at a North Fitzroy Primary School where many of the singers were mothers. In the 30 odd years since then, with Director, Therese Virtue, they have explored songs from many cultures and sources, worked with a range of exciting teachers and performed in spaces across Victoria, from the opening of a paliative care unit for AIDS sufferers in the 90’s to the annual Shakespeare Festival in Stratford in Victoria’s east. Breathing Space offers listeners a tantalising taste of songs from across the globe.
