Sydney Philharmonia Concert "My Favourite Things" Sydney Opera House Concert Hall May 10 & 12 2012
The last few months have been rather busy for David with performances in Turandot in both Melbourne and Sydney as well as concert performances most recently with the Sydney Philharmonia Festival Choir in their “My Favourite Things” Concert. David had the pleasure of performing lesser known pieces by Rodgers & Hammerstein II like ‘You are Beautiful’ & ‘Love, Look Away’ from ‘Flower Drum Song’. He also performed a number of duets and ensembles from Oklamhoma, The Sound of Music and Kansas City.
David has also been recently appointed as Opera Australia’s newest Asthma Ambassador. He gave his first speech as Ambassador at the Mazda Opera in the Domain performance on Bizet’s Pearl Fishers during intermission. While David’s Asthma is considered mild, he doesn’t treat it any less seriously and encourages everyone to get checked for Asthma and any allergen can trigger an attack. David would like to help promote Asthma awareness and is also looking to put together some necessary fund raising initiatives in the near future to continue the amazing work and research of the Asthma Foundation.
Sydney Cycleways Print Campaign for promoting safer cycling in Sydney
David has also been busy cycling around Sydney and Melbourne. Besides singing passionately, David is passionate about cycling and loves it in all its forms. David was recently featured in the City of Sydney’s ‘Everyone’s Connected’ campaign aimed at raising awareness and promotion of cycling as a viable form of transport. David cycles all over Sydney both for work and recreation, seeing riding a bike a healthy way to incorporate exercise into your personal life. As a singer, he feels it is really important to stay in shape and look your best for audiences and so uses his cycling to help with this. He has cycling objectives to try and ride 6,000kms on his road bike alone this year and is currently 40% through the task.
The remainder of the year will see David continue to sing and cycle across Sydney and Melbourne. Get in touch with David if you would be interested in having him participate in either of these activities with your organisation or future event.
