"A Cappella is sometimes thought of as being minimalist, but when you can sing and entertain like The Idea Of North a band would just get in the way" - James Morrison
If you thought that 4-part harmony singing is meant only for barbershop music – think again! You won’t get another group singing jazz a cappella and sounding ever so creatively like TION. With clever arrangements by renown Australian musicians / arrangers, this jaw-dropping concert will surely inspire! 4 powerful and beautiful voices who will resound in the hall sounding like an ensemble of 6! You must not miss this concert!
