Diyet & The Love Soldiers, a multi-instrumental trio from the Yukon, is alternative country, folk, roots, and traditional with catchy melodies and stories deeply rooted in Diyet’s Indigenous world view and northern life. Diyet sings in both English and Southern Tutchone (her native language) and plays bass guitar. She is backed by Love Soldiers: husband and collaborator, Robert van Lieshout and Juno Award winning producer, Bob Hamilton. We are delighted that Diyet and the Love Soldiers will present their school programme to Sunshine Coast Youth on Monday, May 3, 2027. -

Marcel & Elizabeth Bergman (piano 4 hands), Jasper Wood (violin), and Sungyong Lim, (cello). ‘Pocket’ ensembles offer an opportunity to bring a fresh and new take on a celebrated work such as Beethoven’s 5th Symphony, probably one of the most recognized compositions of all time. This ‘pocket symphony’ version for one piano 4 hands, violin, and cello leaves nothing out in terms of fullness and exuberance. Also on the programme are other works that celebrate the splendid and rich orchestral sound of strings and piano.Sponsored in part by: Karen & Gary Strong / Esther Chetner & John Cooper / Ginny Byrnes-McKnight & Jim McKnight
