BOOK NOW FOR OUR 2008 MAJOR EVENT
 

Our 9^th 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 Choir, as always, will be accompanied by Eleanor Gair.

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).
We will return to the Sydney Town Hall in 2009.

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 -
Korean born Su Choung and Chinese trained James Guan, from the Sydney Conservatorium School of Music will perform. Su and James have quite different playing styles according to their teacher, Paul Rickard-Ford, with Su tending to delve deeply into the beauty and meaning of the music whilst James is equally at home in large scale virtuoso works. They will individually play Chopin pieces and combine to perform Rachmanifoff’s Russian Rhapsody.
In addition, young Keegan Joyce, the longest serving ‘Oliver’ in the history of the production “Oliver” will perform songs from his past stage roles. A voice to be heard.
