The Facebook Song
Breaking new ground has always been the mantra of The Australian Voices. Now one of the country’s most acclaimed vocal ensembles embraces the idiom of social media, putting the internet’s cultural powerhouse to song in a new and adventurous creation. This quirky and experiential composition expresses the contemporary phenomenon in a dynamic and serendipitous choral presentation.
In “Toy Story 3 = Awesome!”, The Australian Voices sing a song of Facebook. Composed and conducted by Artistic Director, Gordon Hamilton, this innovative new Facebook Song takes The Australian Voices where no choir has dared to go – the inner space of the internet and the unexplored and unexpected worlds of new experiences, bizarre human relationships and pop culture adoration. This journey discovers new languages and the addictive memes and viral concepts that are attaching themselves to every facet of human life. More...
