The Seekers management team is thrilled to announce plans to erect a grand statue in tribute to the legendary Judith Durham, beloved lead singer and iconic figure in Australian music. This magnificent monument will celebrate her enduring legacy, contributions to the industry, and the hearts she has touched through her remarkable talent.
Designed by renowned sculptor, Linda Browne, the statue will be a larger-than-life representation of Judith, capturing her spirit, grace, and signature smile. The proposed location is the Melbourne Arts Centre, a fitting setting given Judith’s extensive performances and connections to the city. The statue will be crafted from bronze and stand over 12 feet tall, ensuring a striking presence in the heart of Melbourne’s cultural precinct.
The statue’s design will incorporate elements that reflect Judith’s remarkable career, including:
– A microphone in her hand, symbolizing her powerful voice and captivating stage presence
– A flowing gown, inspired by her iconic performances and music videos
– A subtle smile, capturing her warmth and kindness
The Seekers management team has collaborated with Judith’s family and closest friends to ensure the statue is a true representation of her legacy. The project is expected to be completed by the end of the year, with a grand unveiling ceremony planned for November.
Fans and friends are invited to share their favorite memories and stories about Judith, using the hashtag #JudithDurhamTribute. A selection of these tributes will be featured on a special website dedicated to the project, creating a lasting digital archive of the impact Judith has had on her fans.
Well deserved honor. She was truly, one of a kind.
