Karen Jacobsen - Misogyny Opus (2023)

On October 9th 2012, Australia’s first female Prime Minister Julia Gillard AC delivered a powerful speech addressing misogyny and sexism that reverberated around the world. Her impassioned words carried the strength and power of a long history of persecuted women. Voice in a billion devices (including the original Aussie voice of Siri), International Songwriter, Concert Artist and Professional Speaker Karen Jacobsen was so inspired by this iconic speech, she composed a pop orchestral work setting those words - word for word - to music (with permission). The live concert world premiere performance of 'Misogyny Opus' is on April 29th 2023 featuring Karen Jacobsen as soloist with musicians from the Queensland Symphony Orchestra at the Mackay Entertainment and Convention Centre in Queensland, Australia.
