Product details
Following key themes of love of family and loyalty to country,
PEACE travels through the early years of life in Jerilderie to
his student days at Melbourne University, as an engineer and
business man in the heart of Melbourne, and as a soldier and
leader of WWI Australian troops in Gallipoli and France.
There are poignant moments in the work where the tragedy of war
and its effect on Australia are starkly juxtaposed with the
innocence of children's songs and larrikin student ditties of his
days at university.
This much-anticipated premiere saw an enthusiastic response with
over 200 singers from community, schools and university choirs in
Victoria participating in what was a memorable concert for
everyone who knows and understands the impact John Monash has had
on this city.
