Australian tenor Mark Vincent – winner of Australia’s Got Talent in 2009 – will perform a special Mother’s Day concert at Riverside Theatres on May 8, presenting ‘You Raise Me Up’.
The concert takes its title from Vincent’s deeply moving performance of ‘You Raise Me Up’ at last year’s Carols in the Domain, which he dedicated to the victims of the Bondi tragedy.
“That was one of the most emotional moments I’ve ever experienced on stage,” Vincent stated.
“Seeing how people connected with that performance reminded me how powerful music can be when people need comfort and hope.”
During this intimate afternoon of music, the singer will be joined by his musical director and pianist Shannon Brown along with a string quartet.
Together, they will bring to life Josh Groban’s classic ballad alongside a personal selection of pop favourites, classical highlights, and crossover repertoire.
“This concert is really about gratitude,” Vincent said, explaining how his connection to his family influences his music.
“Mother’s Day is a chance to celebrate the people who support us, encourage us and believe in us – the ones who quite literally raise us up. I wanted to create an afternoon of music that families could share together.”
Following the Parramatta concert, the artist will embark on a national tour with his new show ‘Amoré’.
