Play It Forward Announces World Premiere of Climate Change Choral Work

Play It Forward is thrilled to announce the World Premiere of our next newly commissioned major choral work – ECOTORIO at the Melbourne International Singers Festival on Sun June 7, 2020!

ECOTORIO is an exciting new song cycle written for SATB community and school choirs by Dave Newington and Jonathon Welch, written in real time about climate change events that have occurred around our planet over the past months.

Play It Forward is honoured to have the support and generous donation to our new Composition Fund, launched in Sept 2019, from Paulien George that has made ECOTORIO possible.

Stay tuned for details of tickets on sale of this World Premiere concert in the coming weeks!
