Artist
Melbourne Academy Boys Choir
‘The Melbourne Academy Boys Choir, boys of 10 to 14 years sang with great ease the complex pieces of music which even adult singers might find difficult to perform: the boys' performance was indeed of a very high standard. The Kod·ly piece ‘Gólya, Gólya Gilice’ sung in Hungarian brought tears to many an eye.’ (Petőfi Népe Kecskemét)
