5.00pm and 8.00pm
The Neilson, ACO Pier 2/3
Join us in the intimate surrounds of the ACO's The Neilson at Pier 2/3 for an evening of lush choral delights to keep out the winter’s chill!
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 Jan Sandström’s double-choir setting of Lo, how a rose e’er blooming; and a glorious a cappella arrangement of Ruth Moody’s beloved anthem One Voice.
Sydney Chamber Choir is also delighted to welcome back Naomi Crellin, co-directing with Sam Allchurch and leading a jazz trio, as we round out the program with a selection of jazz and popular favourites, from La Vie en rose and Norwegian Wood to The Windmills of Your Mind, plus Naomi's arrangement of It’s Oh So Quiet, covered so brilliantly by Icelandic pop iconoclast Björk.
