Twelve of Australia and New Zealand\u2019s most exciting composers, together with the Song Company, have created a new musical calendar drawing on the words and works of one of Australia\u2019s biggest icons, Michael Leunig.<\/p>\n<p>A wry and whimsical observer of life, Leunig\u2019s cartoons, stories, poems and drawings are never less than mirth-provoking. But as much as he is a superb humourist, first and foremost he is an observer, philosopher, social commentator and historian of the absurd catalyst for free thinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With brand new music by composers Alice Chance, Drew Crawford, Gareth Farr, James Wade, Kate Moore, Kate Neal, Katy Abbott, Lachlan Skipworth, Lyle Chan, Mark Viggiani, Robert Davidson and Ruth McCall, this series of concerts reaffirms the Song Company\u2019s international reputation for outstanding quality and innovation..<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.songcompany.com.au\/buy\/tickets\/the-all-leunig-song-almanac\/\">Click here <\/a>to book<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 To farewell the old year and ring in the new, the Song Company presents 12 new songs and stories, one for&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19470,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"sls_format":[],"class_list":["post-19469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-shows"],"acf":{"deck":"","is_featured":false,"media_type":"standard","audio_embed":"","video_url":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
