Awaken Your Senses with Sarah Blasko and Orchestra Live at QPAC 12 November 2012 Awaken your senses with Sarah Blasko and Orchestra live at QPAC ARIA award winning songstress Sarah Blasko will awaken your senses when she performs on the Concert Hall stage, Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) backed by a full orchestra on Saturday 9 February 2013. Not one to ever shy away from breaking new ground, Blasko is taking to the Concert Hall stage accompanied by the lush sounds of the Queensland Pops Orchestra, to perform songs from her new album I Awake, as well as selected hits from her previous repertoire. For her fourth studio album I Awake, Blasko took on the role of producer, recording in Stockholm, Sweden and in Sofia, Bulgaria with the 52-piece Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra. Already acclaimed by critics as her masterpiece, I Awake is a grand statement from one of the country’s most unique and respected artists. Blasko stated that at times she thought this record would kill her. “I wanted to go all the way with this record, it seemed right. I spent the first half of 2011 in a house in Brighton, England alone with my thoughts & memories, haunted & unsettled. “I chose to produce it myself. I chose an orchestra, an avalanche of sound, soaring & shrieking, simple and striking to send you tumbling. I do hope it makes you feel something”, said Blasko. Having won two ARIAs for Best Female and Best Pop Album, plus triple j’s J Award for Australian Album of the Year, Blasko has also been nominated for a further 14 ARIAs (including two for Album of The Year) and shortlisted for two Australian Music Prizes and another J Award. Touring with Sarah Blasko as her special guest on the ‘I Awake’ National Tour is Joe Mckee. Best known for his previous work with West Australian band Snowman, McKee’s debut solo album ‘Burning Boy’ has him standing out on his own. Garnering critical acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone and The Australian with his hypnotising baritone and sparsely intricate detail, Joe McKee will captivate audiences this February. Don’t miss what is sure to be a beautiful cacophony of song and orchestral sound that is sure to awaken all of your senses.

  • Moby,Gotye, Boy&Bear and Australia's Music Elite Join
    December 5, 2011 MOBY,GOTYE, BOY&BEAR AND AUSTRALIA’S MUSIC ELITE JOIN FORCES WITH GPY&R SYDNEY IN MASSIVE BUSINESS DRIVE FOR VINNIES George Patterson Y&R Sydney has developed a multi-platform campaign for Vinnies designed to drive foot traffic through the charity’s 253 stores across NSW. It’s called Signed Finds and works on a very basic principle. Leading local and international music artists* have autographed and donated pre-loved, personal items that will be hidden in Vinnies outlets throughout the state. The fans of these bands (numbering in the millions) will receive hints about the shirts’ whereabouts through a dedicated Facebook page and then hit the stores to find them. They might not find the shirt first time, but they’ll likely walk out with some other Vinnies classic. Says ECD Julian Watt, “It’s a highly creative business initiative, and exactly the sort of thinking we’re pushing in the agency. Everyone wins. One of those self perpetuating ideas.” Luke Simkins, senior creative at GPY&R and long-time Vinnies shopper said, “Signed Finds is one of those creative perfect storms. “Recording artists get to do something cool for their fans and fans can get their hands on an amazing piece of memorabilia - all while helping people in need.” Julie McDonald, Community and Corporate Relations Manager for Vinnies said, “We’re delighted and honoured to be working with George Patterson Y&R on such an exciting project. “It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved because by shopping or donating to Vinnies, you are directly supporting the most marginalised and disadvantaged people in our community,” Julie added.

    INAUGURAL CEREMONY October 10 2018 “I know that there are vast numbers of men who support woman and huge numbers of women who want more so together let’s create the mother of all paradigm shifts.” Jenny Morris Chrissy Amphlett PHOTOGRAPHER: TONY MOTT 2 1 “I know that there are vast numbers of men who support woman and huge numbers of women who want more so together let’s create the mother of all paradigm shifts.” Jenny Morris Chrissy Amphlett PHOTOGRAPHER: TONY MOTT 2 1 A FEW WORDS Message From AWMA Founding Director Message from the Premier & Ministers & Executive Producer It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the first Australian Women in Music Awards. VICKI GORDON We’re proud that Queensland is the inaugural home to this phenomenal program. The Queensland Government is committed to promoting the work of women in all fields, including the arts, and positions of leadership. We have pledged to appoint 50 per cent women to government boards by 2020, because we know that companies This evening we will make Australian music history. that appoint more women do better. The inaugural Australian Women in Music Awards is the result of many Australian women contribute a great deal to the country’s contemporary music industry, and yet only one in five voices and many visions coming together, all of whom refuse to allow registered songwriters and composers in our nation are women. Women also represent almost half of all Australians women’s contribution in the Australian Music Industry to be sidelined with a music qualification, and yet hold only one in four senior roles in our key music industry organisations.
