Spring Harmony Gathering

Hosted by female vocal trio The Third Voice along with other local artists including community choirs Mooncatchers Women's Choir (Newtown) and Perfect 5th (Ashfield). The concert theme is "in tune with the seasons", a program welcoming spring and celebrating the changing seasons, care for nature and some other topics they can't resist singing about. The Third Voice blends exquisite vocal harmonies with guitar, live-looping, concertina,accordion, shruti and percussion in a programme of originals, re-imagined material by great songwriters and Afro-Cuban chants to the goddesses of nature. This is melded together by strong themes of social justice, women's issues and care for the environment. Their recent self-titled EP was shortlisted for best Debut at the Australian Folk Music Awards 2025. Each singer is a writer and arranger as well as highly skilled vocal specialist ranging from Cuban traditions (Clarita Derwent) via folk songwriting (Christina Mimmocchi) to Transylvanian folk (Gemma Turner).
