Divisi Chamber Singers - a love is a love is a love

‘A love letter to queerness and the LGBTQIA+ community’ - Meta Cohen

Divisi Chamber Singers, in collaboration with Melbourne Recital Centre for Midsumma 2024, present a vibrant program of works by three major, award-winning Australian queer composers - Meta Cohen, Sally Whitwell and Connor D'Netto.

• Meta Cohen's cycle of queer love songs, 'a love is a love is a love', is one of the 2021 winners of an ABC Composer Commissioning Award. Based upon poetry by Australian queer writers, this has been recorded and released by the ABC and covers a diverse array of perspectives.
• Sally Whitwell's Spectrum is a multi-movement work that represents different colours of the rainbow and varying shades of queer experience.
• Connor d'Netto's new work, a world premiere in this performance, takes for its basis Bastian Fox Phelan's story 'Stove Photography' documented in the award-winning podcast 'Queerstories' by Maeve Marsden.

Three major new works celebrating the queer community, brought to life by the remarkable Divisi Chamber Singers. Divisi Chamber Singers will be joined by pianist Coady Green for this performance.
