The Central Coast Chorale presents its first concert for 2022 – Sunday 22nd May at 2.30pm at St Patrick’s Catholic Church in East Gosford.
No wonder they look so happy! At last the joyous sound of singing can be heard once again and the Central Coast Chorale is busy rehearsing for their first concert in just on a year.
Entitled “Sing on ~ Sing out”, this concert is a celebration of the choir’s spirit and desire to bring the joy and beauty of music to all lovers of fine music on the Central Coast.
There is no better way to break Covid’s sound of silence than to experience in person and share with others the exquisite music of Gabriel Fauré. Excerpts from his famous “Requiem” and rarely performed “Messe Basse” will also be performed alongside the exuberant music of Bernstein and Sondheim.
Other surprising musical treats await the audience. The sound of a heavenly harpist, Owen Torr. Owen is a Sydney based harpist and harp teacher. He has played principal harp with the Sydney, Singapore, West Australian, Tasmanian and Melbourne Symphony Orchestras. He is a regular performer with Opera Australia and the Australian Ballet at the Sydney Opera House. He has played on the soundtrack for films including “Australia”, “Happy Feet”, “Jumper” and “Daybreakers’. Owen also plays at the Chris O’Brien LIFEHOUSE, a specialist Cancer Hospital, where he volunteers as part of the Living Room project for holistic living. His performances always delight the audience, so don’t miss this opportunity to hear him play his beautiful harp. There will also be a fabulous String Quartet led by Alastair Duff – Forbes and two fine singers in the person of Elke Hook and George Gilmour.
We invite you all to take this opportunity to experience this rich and varied program and celebrate once again the incredible gift of music.
May we all sing on and sing out for years to come and share with each other one of life’s greatest joys.
