Thursday, 15 May, 6:30-8:00 PM Session 4 - Final Workshop

Together with Tiana, we invite you to join us and sing together as a community for three months, working towards a performance by Tiana and you as a community choir on Friday, 30 May at an offsite location [official announcement end of April!].

Tiana will lead four Thursday evening sessions at correspondences, three workshops and one workshop/rehearsal. Each session will run from 6:30 to 7:30 PM, and participants are then invited to linger for a drink and reflection until 8:00 PM.

We encourage participants to attend as many sessions as possible and to also be part of our final performance to deepen engagement. But if you can only attend one or two sessions, we still encourage you to join us. 

No singing experience is necessary. This gathering is about the joy of joining our voices together.

Tiana Khasi is a Meanjin (Brisbane)-born, Naarm (Melbourne)-based future soul artist. A trained vocalist whose voice has been described ‘as venomous as it is honey-sweet’, Tiana’s music pays homage to her heritage while exploring a forward-thinking blend of soul, jazz and pop. Her debut EP, Meghalaya – titled for Meghalaya, India, the land of the Khasi tribe whose name Tiana proudly bears – arrived to critical acclaim in 2019. In 2020, Khasi released a follow-up EP, Meghalaya – The Remixes, a project that invited friends and respected collaborators to explore playful interpretations of her songs. Featuring contributions from Sampology, Melbourne’s Horatio Luna, So.Crates, Best Foot Forward, choicevaughan and Benny Salvador from Aotearoa as well as London-based label mate Street Rat, the remixes arrived dance-floor ready, breathing new energy into the music and representing community and collaboration at its core. 2024 will see the highly anticipated return of Khasi's music, brimming with the promise of pop innovation and soulful storytelling. With her unique blend of venomous yet honey-sweet vocals, she is poised to once again captivate global audiences and redefine the boundaries of contemporary sound emerging from Australia.
