<p class="ql-block">在澳大利亞維多利亞州政府與多家機構的共同推動下，2025年維多利亞州老年節(jié) （Victorian Seniors Festival）慶?；顒诱?0月1日拉開帷幕。此次，我有幸受邀能夠欣賞到墨爾本以老中青結合的“人民合唱團”精彩演出。</p><p class="ql-block">該合唱團成員以西人為主，指揮貝蒂娜（Bettina Spwakovsky ）的演繹本身就是一種視覺享受——她手勢舒展有力，節(jié)奏拿捏精準，每一個動作都散發(fā)著動人的感染力。從莊嚴恢弘的《哈利路亞》，到深情真摯的《我依然稱澳大利亞為家》，再到華人聽眾格外熟悉的經典金曲《斯卡博羅集市》，每一首旋律都余音繞梁，令人回味不已。就連我這個五音不全的門外漢，也禁不住想混入隊伍中“濫竽充數”一番，過一把沉醉于和聲的癮。</p><p class="ql-block">With the joint efforts of the Victorian government and various organizations, the 2025 Victorian Seniors Festival officially kicked off on October 1st. I was fortunate to be invited to enjoy a spectacular performance by the Melbourne People's Choir, a fusion of the elderly, middle-aged, and young.</p><p class="ql-block">The choir's members are primarily Western, and conductor Bettina Spwakovsky's performance is a visual delight in itself—her gestures are powerful and her rhythmic control is precise, each movement exuding a moving and infectious power. From the majestic "Hallelujah" to the heartfelt "I Still Call Australia Home," and even the classic "Scarborough Fair," particularly familiar to Chinese audiences, each melody lingered in the air, leaving a lasting impression. Even a tone-deaf outsider like me couldn't resist joining the choir and immersing myself in the harmony.</p><p class="ql-block">人民合唱團中也有幾位華人的身影。來自北京大學的才女吳亞楠與她的搭檔賀紅萍（Stella）共同獻唱了一曲《中國功夫》，歌聲鏗鏘有力、韻味悠長，將中華文化的深厚底蘊與歷史積淀展現得淋漓盡致。</p><p class="ql-block">The People's Choir also had several Chinese members. Wu Yanan, a talented singer from Peking University, and her partner, Stella, sang "Chinese Kung Fu" together. Their powerful and melodious voices fully captured the profound heritage and historical heritage of Chinese culture.</p><p class="ql-block">快門聲聲中，我沉浸于拍攝的樂趣，更沉浸于這一晚流淌的旋律。愿以此篇，珍藏這段由歌聲編織的、永不落幕的青春。</p><p class="ql-block">Amid the click of the shutter, I was immersed in the joy of photographing, and even more so in the melodies that flowed through the night. I wish to cherish this everlasting youth woven by song through this piece.</p> <p class="ql-block">人民合唱團團長兼指揮貝蒂娜（Bettina Spwakovsky ）</p><p class="ql-block">Conductor Bettina's heroic presence</p> <p class="ql-block">人民合唱團創(chuàng)辦有八年的歷史，後來在音樂家Bettina的發(fā)展下已經有84位團員。</p><p class="ql-block">The People's Choir has been in existence for eight years and, under the guidance of musician Bettina, has grown to 84 members.</p><p class="ql-block">目前該團正在排練“唱唱唱”音樂劇，是一個以合唱帶給每個人快樂的故事，並由Bettina Spwakovsky 創(chuàng)作并親自指揮，全團團員參與演出。</p><p class="ql-block">The choir is currently rehearsing the musical "Sing, Sing, Sing," a story about how choral singing brings joy to everyone.
