Emotions ran high and memories were rekindled at Alliance Francaise in Sydney on the night of Thursday, October 10 with the official launch of our Devoire De Memoire 2020 Tour. Members of the Alliance and French Consul-General, Anne Boillon helped us launch and get the ball rolling for the raising of funds towards our Devoire de Memoire Tour to the Western Front in December 2020. Thanks must also go to Phillipe Osterman who hosted the night and also spoke very well encouraging everyone to support this important initiative. Everyone in the room also listened to the premiere of some new songs for our choir, written by our Creative Director OJ Rushton, including our new fun theme song featuring Ozy, Ozy, Ozy- Oi, Oi, Oi in 3-part harmony and Pour Le Devoire de Memoire (The duty of Remembrance) Tour Theme Song. The choir also sang a moving rendition of the French National Anthem, the La Marseillaise. Tears were also shed when the France Tour video from our 2018 tour evoked some strong memories of wreath laying at war cemeteries and of singing in some sombre moments, especially singing in the trenches as well as a moving rendition of the hymn ‘Abide With Me’, sung in a cave. We have a Go Fund Me page set up if you would like to support our tour or to donate.
