SUMMARY:Sing Your Heart Out with Tony Backhouse
DESCRIPTION:Join Tony Backhouse (BA\, Mus)\, one of the leaders in Australasian a cappella movement for this inspiring and uplifting singing workshop.  \n\nAbout Tony\nTony Backhouse founded Australia’s foremost a cappella gospel choir Café of the Gate of Salvation in 1986 and directed it for 21 years. He arranged and composed the bulk of their repertoire and still writes music regularly for them. He founded a cappella choir the Honeybees and has directed and sung with the reclusive male a cappella group the Heavenly Light Quartet since 1996. In demand for his inspiring teaching style\, Tony has run more than 2000 vocal workshops throughout the world for the public\, for festivals\, schools\, universities\, churches\, organisation’s and corporate training events. \n\nWhat others have said about Tony\n\n“He is quite simply the finest vocal arranger” Tim Finn \nTony Backhouse has been\, and continues to be\, a major influence on music in Sydney and beyond. The a cappella revival is almost entirely due to him – Roi Colbert\, New Zealand Listener \nTony Backhouse’s voice can be heard several times on The Cafe of the Gate of Salvation and each time he manages to cleverly shape otherwise simple melodic lines. He’s very effective at blending into the ensemble and then appearing again\, wrapping around notes\, gliding above the sopranos\, growling between the tenors and baritones. Few ensemble leaders have as clear an understanding of their group’s sonic spectrum\, and how their voice fits within as a soloist – Martin Wesley-Smith\, composer\, Australia  \nTony Backhouse delivered a fun-filled and spirit-filled workshop. He knows his stuff and teaches it in the true oral tradition\, creating a wonderful learning experience for professional and beginner singers alike. I had a great time singing and I learned lots. A get-down\, joyful\, funky weekend! – Brian Tate\, Music Director\, City Soul Choir\, Vancouver \n\nFor more information about Tony Backhouse\, please visit https://www.tonybackhouse.com/ \nTickets are live December 20th\, 2024.
