Community in Harmony

Barbershop Harmony Australia’s (BHA) Tasmanian contingent will bring its Gold Medal and international representative Mixed Signals to the Stanley Burberry Theatre.

Mixed Signals will be in Hobart on Saturday 12 October for community workshops and an evening concert, ‘A Cappella Spectacular’.

The quartet will facilitate two workshops, one for youth aged 16 to 25 and another open to the broader community.

Both will be accessible to all levels of singing experience.

In the workshops, participants will learn a popular contemporary and fun tune.

As part of the registration fee, they will also receive a ticket to that evening’s A Cappella Spectacular Concert and the opportunity to sing with the workshop chorus on the stage of the Stanley Burbury Theatre.

Choruses and quartets from the local Barbershop community, including those that have recently competed in the 2024 Barbershop Harmony Australia National Championships on the Gold Coast, will also cross the stage.

Mixed Signals will headline the event with a repertoire that ranges from soulful ballads to energetic jazz.

“Hobart already hosts many diverse singing events throughout the year, which makes us particularly excited to present our unique art form in a format so that our community can participate in and enjoy this musical experience,” BHA Tasmanian Region chair Trevor Rootes said.

Tickets for the workshops and the concert are available on the BHA Tasmanian Region Facebook page.
