The Sunshine Coast’s premier vocal group, Oriana Choir, will present Dancing Queen, a tribute show featuring the best of ABBA and Queen August 14 at The J in Noosa and August 21 and 22 at Venue 114, Kawana.
These two icons of the seventies have created a body of timeless music. Their creativity, vitality, dynamism, exciting live presentations and sheer song-writing brilliance remain unparalleled. Their much-loved songs are performed and enjoyed the world over.
“These two bands gave us so many fantastic songs,” said Oriana President Melissa Innes. “We’ve really enjoyed choosing some of our favourites and putting together a show that’s sure to have something for everyone.”
Oriana is known for their exciting and colourful revues and Dancing Queen promises to be no exception with Noosa audiences able to experience some Oriana magic this year too.“We’ve always been asked ‘why don’t you do more performances?’” said Melissa, “So this year we’ll also be presenting our show at The J.”
With unequalled classics such as Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are the Champions, Somebody To Love, Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, The Winner Takes It All, and many others, this show is certain to be a treat for music lovers of all ages.
Oriana is no stranger to the music of Queen and ABBA, having performed the songs of both bands many times. With the 70-voice chorus conducted by Elisabeth Wallis Gaedtke and accompanied by a live band, the audience will be jiggling in their seats and tapping their toes in no time! Also performing will be the Sunshine Coast Youth Choir conducted by Annie Wilson.
