# We had the opportunity to work with SMA Productions on our Long Summer Lunch, during which Miss Bird delivered a dazzling aerial performance in the Museum of Contemporary Art's Foundation Hall. 

Known for representing a wide variety of incredibly talented musical acts, SMA brought the energy, the flair, and the perfect soundtrack to match the vibe of the day.

Ranging from awe-inspiring opera sets to high-energy party bands, SMA Productions’ roster will be sure to add that extra wow factor to your event!

Here are 5 of our favourite acts!

## Miss Bird

Create a ’WICKED’ wow factor with a spectacular vocal performance from ‘MISS BIRD’ as she soars high on her perch, ‘DEFYING GRAVITY’ - with the feature song from the hit film and Broadway show WICKED!

### The Players Band

When booking a band you need versatility! The Players Band** **can be customised from a background jazz quartet to a full ‘Big Band’ 10-piece party band.  They were the highlight at the prestigious New Years Eve event “Singing’ Under the Stars” at the Sydney Opera House.

*Swingin' Under The Stars* was the event of the year at the Sydney Opera House, featuring hit show RAT PACK RELOADED - A celebration of music from Buble to Sinatra accompanied by SMA’s live band THE PLAYERS.
