DESCRIPTION:
Dame Vera Lynn celebrated her 100th birthday on March 20, 2017. I was so honoured to be asked by the Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Australia to pay tribute to Vera's incredible gifts to humanity through music in this special concert celebration at Brisbane City Hall. It was an absolute delight to study her work and present this show. Such artistic value in the music of this era. Here's one of the songs from the show.
