"A cappella is sometimes thought of as being minimalist, but when you can sing and entertain like The Idea of North, a band would just get in the way
James Morrison
The Idea of North (TION) is a group now firmly established as a world class ensemble. They are undisputed masters of a musical style that continues to enthrall audiences wherever they perform - in Australia and around the world.
Described variously as simply an â&128;&152;a cappella quartet, a â&128;&152;jazz vocal quartet or by James Morrison as â&128;&152;the best contemporary vocal quartet in Australia, The Idea of North has established a national and international reputation that now sees them travelling widely and often throughout Australia, the USA, Europe and Asia for concert performances, festivals, corporate functions, workshops and master classes.
Official recognition of that â&128;&152;world class tag came in 2003 when they won The Harmony Sweepstakes - the largest international small vocal group competition in the world. The Idea of North was the first non-US group to win this prestigious award in its 22 year history. They have also won several CARA (Contemporary A Cappella Recording) Awards (USA) over recent years.
The Idea of Norths incredible sound and superb arrangements, coupled with their relaxed presentation and endearing sense of humour have made them a live act that goes well beyond the extraordinary quality of their recordings. Six high selling CDs, one live in-concert DVD and multiple awards both in Australia and overseas are further evidence of that. And their frequent international trips to feature at Festivals, Concerts and a myriad of other performances provide still further evidence. As well as a hectic Australian schedule, they travel overseas 5-6 times every year to countries including the US, Europe and (closer to home) to Korea, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong.
This is a remarkably talented group of musicians whose artistry always translates for each member of their audiences into an event to remember.
