Our
9th City of Sydney Concert will be held at 2pm on 14th
September at the City Recital
Hall Angel Place, due to the Sydney Town Hall being closed for
renovations. This exciting new venue is sure to add a new dimension to
our performance.
The Programme
Our major home
city performance is the special event of the year on the
Sydney Male
Choir's Annual Concert Schedule. Our Musical
Director,
Alan Thrift, has again selected a wide range of songs, both old
and new to the choir, all chosen to capture and enthral our audience.
The traditional Spiritual ‘Hand Me Down My Silver Trumpet’; the American
Folksong ‘Li’l Liza Jane’; Beethoven’s Creation’s Hymn; 'An American
Trilogy' and Freddie Mercury’s ‘We Are The Champions’ are an indication
of the range of songs that will be included in this year’s performance. The Venue The City Recital Hall, Angel
Place is located in Angel Place which runs between George & Pitt
Streets, Sydney, just North of Martin Place. It is connected by a
walkway to Martin Place and nearby to CBD Train and Bus services. This is
a one off opportunity for the remarkable acoustics of the recital hall
plus the power and harmony of this magnificent choir to bring a heart
stopping experience to our Audience. The change of venue, brought on by
the current refurbishment of the Sydney Town Hall, is seen as a
wonderful chance to sing in this very special venue (without being seen
to abandon our Annual City Concert home of the past eight years). Our Guest Artists The Sydney Male Choir
has a long tradition of sponsoring Young
Musicians at our Concerts and this year two brilliant young pianists -
