Canberra Qwire’s Rise Up! concert featured a repertoire of hope and resilience under the enthusiastic direction of Karen Wilden (Musical Director) and Jenny Sawer (Assistant MD). Attended by over 500 Qwire enthusiasts the beautiful Llewellyn Hall rang out with sweet harmonies and applause. Our band of musicians led by Qwire’s accompanist Jessica Stewart added style and beat to the event. Adrienne Francis from ABC Radio Canberra MC’d the event adding a light professional touch. It was a truly inspirational concert - the first large indoor event since COVID-19 struck our shores.
