A curated performance from one of Australia’s finest singer-songwriters
Experience the acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter Lior in an intimate concert for Festival of Voices. Joined by ‘Strings on Fire’, Lior performs reimagined selections from his celebrated back catalogue, offering audiences a warm and elegant chamber‑style evening.
Lior first came to national attention with his independent debut Autumn Flow, featuring much‑loved songs including This Old Love and Daniel. The album became one of Australia’s most successful independent releases, earning multiple ARIA Award nominations. His follow‑up albums continued this success and cemented his reputation as a powerful live performer. He is also known to classical audiences for Compassion, his acclaimed orchestral collaboration with composer Nigel Westlake.
This one‑off performance echoes the atmosphere of classic salon concerts, creating a rare opportunity to experience Lior’s songwriting up close, enriched by lush string arrangements.
Don’t miss this unforgettable evening with one of Australia’s finest artists.
