Dysons Partner with Choir of Hard Knocks
Dysons are proud to announce the sponsorship of the Choir of Hard Knocks' 2016 National Hope & Inspiration Tour for their 10th anniversary.
Media Release from Choir of Hard Knocks ahead of the tour:
The choir that inspired the nation on ABC's smash hit TV series, Choir of Hard Knocks, will celebrate their 10th Anniversary in 2016 with their first national 'Hope & Inspiration' tour thanks to support from Jetstar.
The Choir of Hard Knocks 'Hope & Inspiration' Tour will begin in Perth in March 2016 with plans to return to the Sydney Opera House and perform for the first time in Tasmania, Alice Springs, Uluru, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. They will celebrate their 10th Birthday in concert at Hamer Hall in their hometown Melbourne in September 2016 in a co-production with Arts Centre Melbourne. The Choir will also tour Victoria extensively throughout 2016 and 2017.
Founding Artistic Director, Dr Jonathon Welch AM said, "The choir is so excited to be celebrating this amazing milestone with the opportunity to tour Australia for the first time. A tour of this magnitude wouldn't be possible without the incredible support of Jetstar, and we are honoured to be working alongside this iconic Australian company.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for many people around Australia to experience the choir that they fell in love on ABC TV. It is also a chance for us to thank everyone that has supported us over the years. The choir is proud to continue to be an inspiring voice for many who have experienced homelessness, isolation and disadvantage here and around the world."
Jetstar Australia and New Zealand Chief Executive Officer David Hall said, "The Choir of Hard Knocks is a truly inspiring organisation and Jetstar couldn't be prouder to provide flights for the entire team on their first national tour. We know first-hand how life-changing travel can be, so we're excited to provide this opportunity for such a talented group of individuals. We wish them the best of luck and can't wait to see them in action."
