Faster than the speed of light, a concert in Ballan will take attendees ‘around the world’ this weekend, in less than two hours.

With Ballan buzzing with excitement in anticipation of the arrival of superheroes on the eve of the Ballan Autumn Festival (BAF), the Ballarat Singers and The Little Brass Band will take its audience across the world with music, with the fun-filled 80-minute concert to incorporate songs from France, Germany, Ireland, and more.

BAF President and Captain-Conductor of the ‘Around the World in 80 Minutes’ concert, Kevin Harper, expressed his excitement about this unique virtual travel opportunity.

“Traveling at such superhero speed will enable us to take in such countries as Ireland, England, America, France, and Germany, sampling some of their best-known tunes en route – the local scenery will be provided by music and song with a chance to sing along. In-flight refreshments are included in the price of the tickets,” Mr Harper told the Moorabool News.

“Your chance to travel with Ballan Overseas Airways at superhero speed around the world in 80 minutes is an opportunity not to be missed. This unique travel experience promises to be an unforgettable journey, filled with music, culture, and excitement.”
