Reviews
“Within moments I had goosebumps…The arrangements span styles and generations, reimagining songs by artists including The Waifs, The Superjesus and Katie Noonan, alongside powerful works by First Nations artists such as the Stiff Gins. Across genres and stories of longing and heartbreak, the song selection forms a rich emotional landscape, honouring women’s voices across Australia. With She Said What? Mirabilis Collective blends classical traditions with contemporary expression. It’s bold, reverent and completely captivating.” Perth Happenings
“How could you go wrong with a wonderful hour of beautiful music? These 5 talented women performed entirely in-house arrangements with effortless skill and sincerity. A celebration of female artistry in every way. They are not to be missed!”
