Performing as Pablo
An a cappella male sextet, Pablo's diverse membership includes a composer, a lawyer and a Latin scholar; all are ex-Ormond College Choir members. This diversity carries into their musical repertoire that effortlessly moves from Mediaeval motets to spirituals to Billy Joel.
Pablo
Melbourne a cappella sextet Pablo make their Move debut with pop, folk and spirituals. Close harmony takes in Billy Joel, The Beatles, sea shanties and gospel-tinged arrangements.
