A gorgeous new CD from two of Australia’s best loved singers! Between them, Yvonne Kenny and David Hobson have sold over a quarter of a million albums, making them two of the highest selling recording artists in Australian history. Singing for Love includes three newly recorded duets with orchestra, alongside highlight tracks selected from their extensive discographies. Singing for Love includes songs, operetta and opera, united by the theme of love in all its guises: for friendship, romance, family and of course, for music itself.

The CD release coincides with a national tour, presented by Opera Australia. Chat, laugh and fall in love as David Hobson and Yvonne Kenny reminisce on their stellar careers, and their long-standing friendship along with acclaimed pianist and ABC personality, Guy Noble. Yvonne and David will share stories, anecdotes, and much more throughout the evening. From Handel and Verdi, to the romantic duets of Robert Schumann, and from Noel Coward to the Broadway hits of My Fair Lady, Kiss Me Kate, The Sound of Music and Company, this is Yvonne Kenny and David Hobson as you’ve never seen them before.
