Grab your Vegemite sandwiches, load-up your fried-out Kombis, and prepare for an extraordinary performance of quintessential Aussie hits, as the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Choir presents Under the Milky Way at the Petersham Town Hall for two performances on Saturday 31 May 2025.
Featuring over 100 singers and 24 iconic songs, Under the Milky Way is a powerful celebration of Australian music that spans generations, genres and stories.
From anthems of protest and resilience like Beds Are Burning (Midnight Oil) and Treaty (Yothu Yindi) to heartfelt ballads like The Day You Went Away (Wendy Matthews), Under the Milky Way showcases the songs that have shaped our national identity.
Featuring iconic hits from Cold Chisel, Kylie Minogue, and Yothu Yindi – alongside stunning choral arrangements of Great Southern Land, Flame Trees and I Touch Myself (amongst others), and the celestial title track, Under the Milky Way is a journey to the heart of Australia.
