Waiting For Monarto

WAITING FOR MONARTO

Because while we’re waiting, we might as well sing.

In piano bar, one must be ready to play and sing anything!

Adelaide gave Sandi the opportunity to learn classical piano, musical theatre, songwriting, high school music teaching, music arranging, choir leading, accompanying, piano teaching, and solo cabaret performance. 

Sandi has been one of South Australia’s most widely-travelled and enduring and versatile entertainers, including as an unofficial ambassador for Adelaide and South Australia in song, especially with her compositions ADELAIDE YOU'RE A LADY, SPIRIT OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA, and THE SEA DRAGON COAST. Oh, and HELLO HOW ARE YOU ROBE, her ode to SA Arts personality Peter Goers!

    She is a natural, warm and empathetic entertainer who made everyone feel comfortable, included and acknowledged. - Jude Hines, Stage Whispers

  •          

    Sandi is the most in-demand accompanist in town, and she’s a positive Liberace on the keyboard. And she’s not a bad singer either! - Samela Harris, The Barefoot Review
