Adelaide Chamber Singers

Adelaide Chamber Singers and Sydney Chamber Choir together again in 2013! Following our highly successful collaboration for Bach’s Johannes Passion in 2012, we are very excited to join forces again with our friends in the East for performances in Adelaide and Sydney of some of the great showpieces of the choral world – the ‘megasonaural’ 40-part motets by the contemporary British composer Gabriel Jackson and his justly famous 16th century countryman Thomas Tallis. Each choir will also perform on its own in programs that feature exciting new Australian choral music. And we begin our homage to Benjamin Britten – one of choral music’s greatest champions – in his centenary year.

From John Dowland to Joni Mitchell, from the vibrant flamenco traditions of Spain to the gentle lyricism of American guitarist and composer Jeffrey Van, the sound of voice and guitar (or lute) together has been one of the most popular – and most intimate – of combinations in our musical heritage. In this program, Adelaide Chamber Singers collaborates with one of Australia’s leading classical guitarists, Alexander Tsiboulski, in music of great beauty and depth for chamber choir and guitar – and we continue our homage to Benjamin Britten with a work that, although the fruit of his younger years, was not published until the very end of his life.

Britten’s justly famous A Ceremony of Carols for treble voices and harp and Charpentier’s charming ‘Midnight Mass’ for choir and chamber orchestra based on French Christmas carols are amongst the best-known and best-loved of all Christmas music. Whether encountering them for the first time or re-discovering them as old friends, this is Christmas music at its best. Britten’s A Boy Was Born completes our homage to one of England&Rsquo;s greatest composers in his centenary year with the first complete performance in Adelaide of this youthful creation – a virtuosic set of choral variations for chamber choir. We will also première a new work by ACS Director Carl Crossin especially written for the Adelaide Chamber Singers with settings of texts drawn from the Middle Ages and our own time.
