Here's to the Heroes - A Tribute to the ANZAC Spirit in music and song

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! Music has long inspired soldiers and theatres of war have been fertile grounds for the arts as an expression of that which was experienced: through songs, verse, prose and art. Hosted by The Hon. Dr Frank Madill, this spectacular performance of Here’s to the Heroes will present tunes of glory, songs of lament and the music and pageantry that encouraged the failing spirits of mere mortals in the face of battle and brought comfort at the loss of lifelong mates. Today we remember them and pay tribute to the fallen soldiers. The cast of the show includes Michael Colrain, OAM, who performed for the troops in Vietnam. This fine tenor will be joined on stage with the accomplished pianist Audrey Smith, OAM, who has had her own jazz band in Sydney. Audrey has worked with Michael as accompanist and has recorded several albums with him. With their familiar uniforms of red and black, instruments glinting in the sun, or under the spotlights, this scene is one that alerts.
