One of Australia’s most treasured singer/songwriters, Lior, is set to perform in Woodend on Sunday March 24.
Brought to us by the Woodend Winter Arts Festival, the concert coincides with the launch of their highly-anticipated 2024 program.
Renowned for his beautiful voice and songs that radiate truth and sincerity, Lior is a two-time ARIA Award winner, and has also been nominated for Triple J’s prestigious ‘J Award’ for Album of the Year.
He burst on to the Australian music scene in 2005 with his debut album, Autumn Flow, and has released seven albums to date.
WWAF artistic director, Jacky Ogeil, said the committee was excited to bring an artist of Lior’s calibre to the Macedon Ranges.
“What better way to celebrate the launch of our 2024 program, than with an uplifting and soulful performance by one of Australia’s most beautiful voices,” she said.
“It sets the tone for what is to come over the King’s Birthday long weekend in June, when we once again deliver an engaging and immersive program, featuring world-class musicians, alongside some of Australia’s greatest literary minds.”
Taking place from June 7-10, the Woodend Winter Arts Festival will see concerts from acclaimed musicians, an engaging Words and Ideas program, along with the return of the community fireworks event at Buffalo Stadium.
For almost 20 years, the Woodend Winter Arts Festival has brought Australian and international musicians, performers, artists and writers to Woodend. The festival prides itself on bringing events to the region at an affordable price. It also attracts tourism and provides a boost to the local economy during the colder winter months.
There are opportunities for local people to participate as volunteers. If this is of interest, get in touch with the WWAF team via email at woodendwinterarts@gmail.com.
