LOCAL HILLS SINGING SCHOOL SHINES ON STAGE WITH DELTA AT FIRE FIGHT
Castle Hill Singing School, Sister2Sister School of Singing, shared the stage with Delta Goodrem at the Fire Fight concert in Sydney over the weekend.
Sydney, NSW: On Sunday 16th February, 2020, 23 huge acts joined the stage to raise funds for the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) fund, whose aim is to support rural, regional and remote communities around Australia that have been affected by bushfires this 2019/2020 season. The Sister2Sister School of Singing choir and directors were invited on stage to sing hits including the iconic “We Are Australian” with Delta Goodrem at the Fire Fight concert at ANZ Stadium in Sydney.
The 10 hour outdoor concert was hosted by Celeste Barber and saw Australian and International superstars take the stage to provide an amazing 10 hour show to excited fans, which raised more than $9.5 million in much needed funds. Delta Goodrem was one of the headlining performers, and she invited the Sister2Sister School of Singing choir, or “Squad” and directors to participate in her performance. The Sister2Sister Squad, a talented and vibrant singing and dancing group, provided vocal support to Delta for three of the songs in her set, including “We Are Australian”, “Born To Try” and the moving song penned during the bushfire crisis, “Let It Rain”.
Sister2Sister Directors and vocal educators, Sharon and Christine Muscat, also took to the stage and provided back up vocals for the entire performance with Delta. Their relationship with Delta Goodrem stretches back to the late 90’s, as Christine explains. “We met Delta at the ARIA’s in 1999. We always kept in touch and began singing backing vocals for her in 2009. It’s very rare to work with someone for that long in this industry but as local Hills girls, we all share a very similar work ethic and values towards our work. We are so blessed to have shared the stage with her for so long. She has really become an Australian icon over that time”- Christine Muscat.
Sister2Sister School of Singing was established in 2004 by ARIA award winning sisters, Christine and Sharon Muscat. They had two top five hits “Sister” and “What’s a Girl To Do” and have enjoyed successful careers in the music industry. Their passion for singing led to the opening of their highly regarded Castle Hill singing school which offers tuition in not only singing but dance, drama, musical theatre and various musical instruments, as well as development of their acclaimed “Squad”.
The Sister2Sister Squad is an elite performance troupe that attend Sister2Sister School of Singing. Sister2Sister Squad members are individually mentored and developed by industry professionals in all facets of singing, dancing and media performances to achieve their potential in the world of entertainment. The Sister2Sister Squad are regularly invited on stage to support local events around the Hills District, such as the Hills Council Citizenship ceremony, and have enjoyed performing at Bella Vista Farm. They are not strangers to large scale events, sharing the stage with Guy Sebastian and the Voice finalist Jordan Anthony, as well as performing half time entertainment for the Parramatta Eels at Parramatta stadium. The S2S Squad have been invited to sing with Delta in the past, as choir in her 10 Year “Innocent Eyes” live recordings, but the opportunity to sing with Delta in front of a full stadium at such a high profile and globally televised event was a once in a lifetime experience they will not soon forget.
“Seeing their little faces beside us on the stage just beaming in front of 70,000 people as incredible. They were just so excited, nothing could prepare them for the energy they were about to take on from a crowd that large. It’s very overwhelming” – Sharon Muscat.
“We were just so thrilled that Delta was willing to extend her trust in us, to our students too. Sharing the stage with her and them will be a highlight we’ll never forget” – Christine Muscat.
