Read the full storyMirusia Louwerse is no stranger to Ingham, on Friday 24th January Mirusia was the Hinchinbrook Shire Australia Day Awards Ambassador, and in March she returns for her Ingham performance debut.
On the 15th of March Mirusia will be performing ‘Celebration’ at the JL Kelly Theatre in Ingham.
Mirusia is looking forward to her Ingham return, she is eager to showcase her classical crossover music.
“Today (Friday 24th January) I had the fortune of being able to be a tourist in your city and look around, and I saw some incredible things, it is so beautiful here,” said Mirusia.
“It's like farm meets tropical island. It's just so gorgeous and I had a really great time.”
“The thing I'm really looking forward to, though, is bringing my music to Ingham, and that means classical crossover music, music I've performed around the world with André Rieu, the music that I've written, and also some special requests as well that I've already had on my social media from fans in Ingham.”
Mirusia describes her music as classical crossover and that means it isn’t as daunting as traditional opera music.
“Classical crossover is a little bit more accessible. It sort of is classical music brought in a more modern, I want to say jacket, we jush it up a little bit and make it a bit more accessible to somebody who may never have dared to go and see classical music before,” said Mirusia.
“André Rieu was a fantastic forefather of the classical crossover genre, along with Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman and I do it in my own way, so the Mirusia way.”
Mirusia has performed her music all over the world, including with the fantastic André Rieu.
She explained that her grandmother had sent her EP to André without her knowledge and one day she had André Rieu on the phone, asking her if she would like to accompany him on a world tour.
From her time with André Rieu Mirusia learned a lot, and she will bring all of that experience with her on her Ingham debut in March.
What: ‘Celebration’ by Mirusia
Where: JL Kelly Theatre
When: Saturday 15 March at 5pm
