Australian Cabaret

I was lucky to be invited to a school fundraiser concert that featured a musical group called 'Black Tie.' To be honest, I wasn't expecting much for the price of $25 a ticket and the fact that it was at a school I had never heard of. Well I was very very wrong.

The group is made up of 2 very talented brothers and their wives. The ladies accompanied the brothers on the piano and cello, and played a few solos of their own (though I thought they were just average players). The brothers had amazing baritone voices (one of them is/was an opera singer!) sang a variety of songs ranging from classical to Disney to musicals. They were also fantastic actors and comedians. They made up their own lyrics to some well-known songs and acted them out complete with costumes.

It was an immensely entertaining and interactive performance with a high musical standard and hilariously funny. The comments and reactions of the kids in the audience made it even more amusing. I was laughing so hard I almost fell off my chair. If you ever get the chance to see them perform, you should definitely go, and let me know too!^^

Here's a description of them -
