Celebrating 100 years of suffrage in Victora November 2008

In 2007, Mary Crooks from the Victorian Womens Trust approached Kavisha Mazzella to write an anthem to celebrate the up and coming centenary of the womens vote. Kavisha took a good year with a great deal of discussion and research with Mary as mentor and came up with " Love and Justice " Womens Anthem in 2008 .Many community choirs from country to city were invited to be part of this project .Given that alot of people couldnt read the music,Kavisha recorded each vocal part and these were sent out on cd to the various choir leaders.
A month before the performance the choirs all met for the first time a Northcote Town Hall.for 4 rehearsals -every Sunday.A creche was also provided..4 Sundays later a choir was born of 462 victorian women who bussed ,caught trains, rode bicycles ,walked into the city to sing the Women's Anthem for the first time. It was a hugely emotional thing to sing the things we had all been thinking for so long and now there was a song expressing it!! The song was gifted to everyone to sing by Dure Dara on behalf of the Victorian Women's Trust and the song has been sung every year especially on International Women's Day.
 PdF s of the music is available free of charge from the Victorian Women;s Trust (just go to past events )
