Enjoyed an astonishing afternoon with the Adelaide Chamber Singers and Melbourne’s Polyphonic Voices performing Faure’s Requiem in St Peter’s Cathedral, Adelaide, building a cathedral of sound inside the cathedral of stone.
Adelaide Chamber Singers is one of Australia’s leading chamber choirs and South Australia’s only fully professional choral ensemble. It is internationally renowned for its presentation of choral chamber music in all its variety, from ancient and contemporary, sacred and secular choral music to the highest international standards while making it accessible to today’s audiences, performing Messiah in both orchestral and chamber configurations, to being the choir of choice to back the Rolling Stones and other popular artists such as the Hilltop Hoods.
It was my privilege recently to assist this supremely talented group with writing and editing for its successful application for grant funding from ArtsSA for next year’s subscription series of concerts.
