Australia Plays Broadway - Carnegie Hall

Carnegie Hall

Last night I had the pleasure to attend an evening of Australian talent at the beautiful Carnegie Hall here in New York City. It was all part of the Australia Week calendar of events which kicked off in LA last week. Australia Week was conceived by the current Consultant General to New York the Hon John Olsen and is the single largest foreign country promotion held annually in the United States. Australia Week is a showcase of all that Australia has to offer the rest of the world in respect to the arts, music, culture, food, wine, innovation, tourism and many other aspects of Australian lifestyle.

The performers included Aussie Icons Jimmy Barnes, Olivia Newton-John, The Qantas Choirs and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. Other artists ranged from opera singers through to indigenous artists including Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, Ursula Yovich and William Barton.

Our very own Design/Production company Tomsuey Inc headed up by my partner Sue McGhee has been responsible for all the design elements including signage, brochures and various others pieces for the previous 3 yrs including this year's complete redesign of the Australia Week website www.australia-week.com

The event was amazing and it made me very proud to introduce them to my American friends.
