Pull up a chair, grab yourself a glass, and sit back and enjoy the ravishing harmonies of unaccompanied choir: the deep contentment of René Clausen’s Tonight Eternity Alone; the sensuous textures of Ēriks Ešenvalds Only in Sleep and Edvard Grieg’s Ave maris stella; and a glorious a cappella arrangement of Ruth Moody’s beloved anthem One Voice.
Sydney Chamber Choir is also delighted to welcome back The Idea of North’s Naomi Crellin, co-directing with Sam Allchurch and a jazz trio led by Kevin Hunt, as we round out the program with a selection of jazz and popular favourites, from Edith Piaf’s La Vie en rose and The Beatles’ Norwegian Wood to It’s Oh So Quiet, covered so brilliantly by Icelandic pop iconoclast Björk.
