The Choir’s Artistic Director Nick Dinopoulos praised the work of the SAE audio and film students involved in bringing the performance to life at the Hawthorn Arts Centre.

“It was wonderful to work with students from SAE on our first concert back since the pandemic began. Their attention to detail and professionalism was simply outstanding. It was absolutely clear that they cared about getting the best-possible result, and their enthusiasm for the project was great to see,” Nick said.

Since the start of the pandemic, residents in the aged care community have been more heavily impacted than most. This added significance to the performance, Nick added.

“Being able to share our performance with residents in aged care has been incredibly important. The opportunity to foster connectedness through this project has provided a renewed sense of purpose for us all.”

Carli Monteath, a first year student at SAE, acted as one of the assistants on the project. “Watching live music is one of my favourite things to do, so to be working on this with the Australian Boys Choir was really thrilling,” Carli commented.
