For sixty years in the first half of the 20th century, Peter Dawson was Australia’s Ambassador of Song and the most famous recording artist in the world. Throughout his monumental 60 year career, Peter Dawson sold some 25 million 78’s celebrating family values with sincerity and the British Empire with jingoistic gusto.

His ballads celebrating the golden age of song were known in every home that had a gramophone and included The Gendarme’s Duet, Floral Dance, On the Road to Mandalay, Roses of Picardy, Let the Rest of the World Go By, The Holy City, The Changing of the Guard, Land of Hope and Glory as well as songs of the sea, the army, travel, opera and Gilbert and Sullivan baritone favourites.

This Cabaret in the Day session will feature the legendary operatic baritone of Geoffrey Chard, who has enjoyed an acclaimed career worldwide on the operatic stage, starring in the Australian Elizabethan Trust Opera Company, Welsh National Opera, Glyndebourne, Covent Garden, the Aldeburgh and Edinburgh Festivals, English National Opera and The Australian Opera. Glenn Amer known internationally for his thrilling piano wizardry and his powerful operatic voice joins Geoffrey Chard to present Memories of Peter Dawson.
