15 October 2017, 12:00AM

A dynamic all-Pacific female vocal ensemble is heading to the shores of Sydney at the prestigious Concourse Theatre with the ultimate purpose to embrace strength in diversity! 

Oceania Woman Opera 2017 will showcase a Sea of Oceanian Voices, led by the dynamic Mezzo soprano Ana Fifita-Otai, together with aspiring sopranos Fijian Ani Lewaniu of Pasifika Voices and Samoan/Fijian Lealoosina Samuels who has in the past performed duets with Ana Fifita-Otai. 

The sensational New Zealand born, San Francisco based Opera Singer, Ms Isabella Moore joins as guest artist on the evening because she believes in the vision of sharing our gifts with the expectation of realising potential and creating new opportunities.

A haunting tribute to two Pacific Giants of Academia, the late Professor Epeli Hau’ofa and the late Dr Teresia Teaiwa is being composed by the internationally acclaimed Maestro Tuilagi Igelese Ete to be performed by the unique trio reflecting strength in diversity and the oneness of Pasefika people.

Lauano Lauina Grace of Grace & Grace Plus, also Advisor to Oceania Woman accepted a generous gift from Eveni Pacific stating that such partnerships will enhance collaborative efforts. 

The generous gifts are for the artists who have contributed enormously towards the development and of Oceania Woman Opera, a unique experience at the Concourse Theatre, Chatswood on November 30th 2017.

Eighty six years in business and currently power-driven by young and very inspirational fourth generation women, the Eveni Carruthers brand traces its origins to the coldness of Dumfries Scotland, arid, dusty Melbourne Australia and finally, balmy, peaceful Fijian and Samoan islands. 

It has since developed the brands - Eveni Pacific - a modern take on traditional elei formal wear, Koko Pacific a premium resort and contemporary elei wear, Eveni Sport - Athleisure and urban street wear, EveniKIDS- clothing & accessories line for children and Garlands Pacific - a range of home decor and furnishings.

Eveni Carruthers has retail outlets and distributors in Apia, Faleolo International Airport, Sheraton Samoa Aggie Greys Beach Resort Faleolo, Salelologa Savai’i and KS Mart Tafuna in American Samoa which are supported by online stores. www.evenipacific.nz and www.evenipacific.com.

Proceeds from the unique performance will contribute to the Pacific Women’s Professional & Business Network Inc scholarship fund to support Pacific women in furthering their studies and other relevant opportunities.
