In a rare collaboration and line-up of our finest music talent, iconic Australian singer/songwriter, Paul Kelly, teams up with internationally renowned jazz musician Paul Grabowsky, to create Meet Me In The Middle of the Air – a musical triumph of heavenly proportions!
Spanning Kelly’s catalogue from the late 80s to now, including ‘Be Careful What You Pray For’, ‘God’s Hotel’ (lyrics by Nick Cave), and the specially written, ‘Meet Me In The Middle of the Air’, new arrangements by Grabowsky turn Kelly’s songs of spiritual theme into sweeping rhapsodies, soaring ragtime jazz and even sassy Cuban salsa.
Led by Paul Grabowsky and performed by Australia’s pre-eminent contemporary music ensemble, the Australian Art Orchestra, the concert features Paul Kelly sharing the lead vocals with the soulful voices of the much-loved Vika and Linda Bull and with sensational backing vocals by the Choir With No Name.
The result is an unforgettable night of beautiful music of immense power, testament to Paul Kelly’s songbook as one of the richest in contemporary Australian music.
This concert has only been performed on three sold out occasions previously and it might take some time for two of Australia’s greatest musical minds to Meet in the Middle of the Air once again.
Playing at Canberra Theatre Centre on Friday 29th July 2011, from 7:30pm.
