80 years ago today, Rodgers & Hammerstein's partnership was announced by The Theatre Guild in The New York Times. Little did they know their works would change musical theatre forever — from their first collaboration, Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma, to their last: The Sound of Music. ❤️ The song "Edelweiss" would be their final collaboration before Oscar Hammerstein II passed away in 1960, just after The Sound of Music debuted on Broadway. #RH80 | The Sound Of Music

Cairns' foremost Bavarian dancers have been busy getting back into the spirit of German celebrations on the road to Oktoberfest. The Edelweiss Dance Group hosted the Cairns Bavarian Fest at the North Cairns Tigers AFL club on Sunday, with oompah music, dancing, beer and pretzels. Group facilitator and dance coach Sonya Kremser said the group, which has been performing around Cairns since 1989, was always busy around the second half of the year. | Cairns Post

Our version of The Sound of Music’s “Edelweiss” was by far the most popular moment during our first-ever public YouTube Livestream earlier this year. YouTube’s insights show which parts of a stream get re-watched the most, and “Edelweiss” was a clear winner! It was unexpected, but it inspired us to film a proper Duo Session for the song, which we’re excited to share with you today! ☺️ This Duo Session has been available for MLT Club members for a while now but we also wanted to post it publicly
