Melbourne Songs of Strength

SHIR The Beating Heart of Jewish Music Premieres in Melbourne 

Following the sold-out success of 2024's Sydney Town Hall concert Songs of Hope, SHIR Australian Jewish Music Festival, together with our promotional partner UIA Victoria, bring Songs of Strength - An Evening to Uplift, Inspire and Unite to Melbourne. 

On Tuesday 30 September, between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, we will congregate in the heart of our city to be moved and galvanised by the power of Jewish artistry. Experience a one-night-only celebration of Jewish music ranging from musical theatre to pop, liturgical to the latest releases from Israel - including the song that propelled Yuval Raphael to second place at Eurovision, New Day Will Rise.  

Headliners: National icons Deborah Conway AM and Willy Zygier (Melbourne) 

Featuring at both concerts: Ben Goldstein (Sydney) • Danielle Bavli (Sydney/New York) • Brett Kaye (Melbourne) • Montana Sharp (Melbourne) • Amit Benita (Sydney/Tel Aviv) • Sasha Fisher (Sydney) • Daniel Weltlinger (Sydney/Berlin) • CHUTNEY Band (Sydney) 

  Melbourne – Tuesday 30 September | 7.00pm 

Please double-check your city before booking – each concert has its own unique energy and seating map. We can’t wait to share this extraordinary celebration of Jewish music with you. 

Don’t miss what promises to be the Jewish cultural event of the year.
