COVER STORY

Nathan Taylor chats with Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre’s Music Producer, Valda Silvy, about the upcoming concert season at the much-loved Penrith venue…

CONCERTS WILL MAKE JOAN SHINE

2

012 is shaping up to be one of the biggest in the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre’s history largely thanks to their highly-regarded series of concerts which take place throughout the year.

The Joan recently released their schedule of concerts for the first six months of the year (January to June) which is filled with a gigantic array of talent from Australia, as well as internationally.

The Joan’s Head Music Producer, Valda Silvy, said she loves to offer a programme that has plenty of diversity and is chock-full of artists that bring their own unique culture to the people of Penrith.

“When putting the concert season together we basically look at all the artists who are scheduled to come to Australia, whose first time it is in town and what would appeal to the general public,” she said.

“We get offered so many concerts here at The Joan that we could have a concert every day of the week, so you have to make a balanced selection when programming.”

The 2012 season kicked off last Friday night with a sell-out concert

by Jamaica’s and one of the world’s living treasures, The Jolly Boys. But the Jamaican legends were just the start of the huge influx of international acts making their way to The Joan stage over the next six months.

On Friday, January 27, Sydney Festival and The Joan present Icelandic sensations Amiina (pictured on cover).

Amiina perform beautiful ethereal music on a unique variety of instruments – most that they’ve put together themselves. From musical saws to kalimbas to music boxes and seemingly

anything that could be plucked, bowed or beaten on.

“Amiina are from Iceland and you have to listen to their music because it’s just so different,” Ms Silvy said.

“It’s hard to explain their music because they use all these wonderful instruments they put together themselves. Their music just ebbs and flows throughout and has this heavenly sort of feel to it.

“They are amazing performers and huge stars over in Iceland, so we’re very pleased to have them at The Joan.”

On Thursday, March 1, a Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre favourite returns to town with Katie Noonan and her three-piece band Elixir gracing the stage.

Katie Noonan is one of Australia’s greatest singers and her band Elixir has now been together for an astonishing 14 years. The evening with Elixir will comprise of exquisite music that includes original compositions and notable covers of works by Joni Mitchell, Split Enz and many others.

“Having Elixir featuring Katie Noonan at The Joan is very exciting,” Ms Silvy said.

“Katie has performed at The Joan many times over recent years and is always a drawcard because of the uniqueness of her voice.”

Also that month on Friday, March 9, the world famous Eric Bibb (pictured above) performs at The Joan.

The son of 1960’s folk singer Leon Bibb, the godson of singer/actor/activist Paul Robeson and the nephew of world famous jazz pianist and composer John Lewis (Modern Jazz Quartet), Eric Bibb grew up surrounded by a world of music with family and friends that included folk musician Peter Seeger and American

Their music just ebbs and flows throughout and has this heavenly sort of feel to it

jazz musician Odetta.

Over the last 10 years, the Grammy nominated artist has taken the world by storm with his own beautifully realised and cleverly accomplished fusion of soul, gospel and folk-blues, blending a traditional rootsy American style with a subtle contemporary sound.

Eric will be joined on stage by Swedish guitarist extraordinaire Staffan Astner and rising American folk singer Krystle Warren.

“Krystle’s an up and coming folk singer from the US who has taken the world by storm,” Ms Silvy said.

“When she performed at the Sydney Opera House for the Nick Drake tribute concert last year she received rave reviews.”

On Wednesday, April 4, the London Klezmer Quartet makes their way to Australia for the first time and are set to dazzle audiences at The Joan.

This fabulous all-female quartet’s deep understanding of the celebratory and soulful music of Eastern Europe is reflected in exuberant, passionate and accomplished performances of traditional and original Klezmer (Eastern European) music.

Towards the end of April, one of the world’s most beloved singer/

songwriters, Ralph McTell, performs on The Joan stage on Saturday, April 28.

Ralph’s 1974 release of the iconic song ‘Streets Of London’ has been covered by more than 200 artists and earned him an Ivor Novello Award.

‘Streets Of London’ sold millions of copies around the world and has been performed by music legends such as Sinead O’Connor and Cliff Richard.

Ralph McTell is one of the great storytellers and a gifted songwriter and breathtaking guitarist who invites his audience into a unique world weaving narrative that is both significant and poignant.

“A lot of young people may not have heard of Ralph McTell but I myself was brought up on the ‘Streets Of London’ and it’s very exciting to have the man himself performing his signature song at The Joan,” Ms Silvy said.

On Saturday, May 26, direct from Italy, Luca Ciarla and his gypsy band perform at The Joan.

Ms Silvy said the people of Penrith have become very cultured over the last few years and are sure to enjoy the selection of local and overseas acts at The Joan in 2012.

wo huge Australian stars will collide tomorrow night, Saturday, January 14, when ‘Australian Idol’ alumni Jessica Mauboy and Stan Walker hit the EVAN Theatre stage together at Penrith Panthers.

Jessica and Stan both made it to the ‘Australian Idol’ finales in their respective years, Jessica finishing runner-up in 2006 and Stan winning the contest in 2009. Since then both have gone on to superstardom and are regarded as Australia’s most loved artists.

The pair has each had their fair share of success between them, scoring chart-topping albums and singles each year over the last few years.

In 2011, Jessica and Stan teamed up to release the duet called ‘Galaxy’, which is still doing wonders on the Australian charts. Last week ‘Galaxy’ reached platinum status (70,000

units sold) on the ARIA charts.

We all first got to know Jessica, 22, way back when she auditioned for ‘Australian Idol’ in 2006 standing on the red Alice Springs dust and surrounded by all those pesky flies.

From the moment the reality series wrapped up, Jessica went straight into the recording studio to lay down tracks for her debut album of ‘Australian Idol’ covers called ‘The Journey’.

After a short stint with the all-female pop group, The Young Divas, Jessica began writing and recording her first originals album in 2008.

The album ‘Been Waiting’ peaked at number 11 on the ARIA charts and was certified double platinum (140,000 units shipped).

‘Been Waiting’ spawned some massive hit singles like ‘Burn’, ‘Because’, Up and Down’ and the chart topping ARIA award winning single ‘Running Back’, which featured American rapper Flo Rida.

Since her incredible debut, Jessica has gone on to record duets with American rappers Snoop Dogg and Ludacris and even accompanied megastars Beyonce and Chris Brown on their recent Australian tours.

Her counterpart on the night, Stan Walker, has also had an incredible ride since winning ‘Australia Idol’ in 2009.

The 21-year-old just recently released his third and more up-tempo album to date with ‘Let The Music Play’.

‘The Galaxy Tour’ featuring Jessica Mauboy and Stan Walker hits the Penrith Panthers stage this Saturday, January 14, and is already shaping up to be one of the biggest concerts to come to Penrith this year.

The doors open at 7.30pm with all the excitement kicking off at 8pm when Stan Walker rocks the stage, followed by Jessica Mauboy at 9pm. All tickets are $46.50. To book or for more information call 1800 061 991.

MUST SEE EVENT

BEST OF THE BEST

Katherine Tweed looks at a major wrestling event hitting Penrith this month

T

he Australasian Wrestling Federation (AWF) will be showcasing local and international talent at Penrith Panthers this month.

Panthers will host the ‘Australia’s Best of the Best’ wrestling tournament in the EVAN Theatre on Friday, January 20.

At the height of the action, four of the top Australian wrestling stars, including Penrith talent Dean Draven, will be competing in a tournament with hopes of receiving a title shot at a future AWF event.

“One first round bout of the ‘Best of the Best’ with a particular local interest will see ‘The Elite Enforcer’ Jay Law take on ‘The Penrith Panther’ Dean Draven, which promises to be a hard hitting wrestling war for bragging rights as the

area’s toughest and most skilled wrestler,” AWF promoter Greg Bownds said.

Two of Australia’s greatest will also put on a show for fans as New South Wales fighter, “Iron” Ben Coles, defends the Australasian championship against Victoria’s ‘The Machine’

Matt Silva.

In addition to these two prestigious events, other talent will be displayed as the night is scheduled for more than two hours of non-stop action.

“It is a very interactive show, and people

leave wanting more and impressed,” Mr Bownds said.

The event is family orientated with live pro-wrestling action to suit all ages. The AWF, founded in 1999, has held approximately 40 championship and title events around Australia.
