Edit history

The Third Voice is an Australian trio of singers - Clarita Derwent, Gemma Turner, and Christina Mimmocchi. Each member is an experienced soloist in their own right, who first met early in their careers in the popular group Blindman's Holiday. They share a passion for well-written songs, harmonious voices, and music that engages both the body and the mind. In The Third Voice, they collaborate to create original songs and curate material from a variety of sources that they love. They arrange these songs as a cappella pieces or add new elements with guitar, live-looping, concertina, cello, and percussion. Throughout their careers, they have been involved in various musical endeavours, including songwriting, a cappella performance, leading bands, conducting choirs, and exploring different musical styles both in Australia and internationally. Since forming in Sydney, the trio has performed at a range of venues, events, and festivals across Australia, including the Cobargo Folk Festival and the National Folk Festival. They have recently released their debut EP, thanks to a grant from the Inner West Council. The new album with The Third Voice & Band includes original songs by Christina and Gemma, as well as new arrangements of Afro-Cuban songs by Clarita. The EP, produced by Llew Kiek, also showcases his impressive guitar skills and features percussion by Jess Ciampa and bass by Peter Firth. Additional voices from community choirs directed by Christina and Gemma can also be heard on the recording.
