Australia Day Award to Paola Kavisha Mazella AM

"Singing the Songs of Compassion" is the headline in The Age announcing Kavisha Mazella's Member of the Order of Australia amongst the Australia Day Awards.

Those of us who frequent the many events where she is present, most recently the Daylesford Singers Festival, know well enough her bubbly personality and the depth of emotion in her singing. She sings and conducts the song she was commissioned to write for the Centenary of Women's Suffrage which you can visit here.

She is honoured for her "service to the performing arts as a singer and songwriter, and to the community , through the development of musical projects promoting awareness of multicultural, refugee and indigenous experiences".

Here is the link to the little article in The Age, however the lovely photo of her is not here. Pity!

All the best,
Ros.

I so enjoyed being with Kavisha at the Daylesford Singers Festival, and this announcement was a real blast. Fantastic and well-deserved.
Cheers,
Ros.
