Voices of Angels
Voices of Angels
‘One couldn't help noticing the unforced purity of sound and trueness of pitch in the individual voices as they proceeded past to create a delicately luminous web around the hall … as much fun as any of us had had since our fifth birthday party.’ Peter McCallum, Sydney Morning Herald May 2007. Let the voices of the acclaimed Sydney Children’s Choir and Gondwana Voices choir lift your spirits this Christmas in a concert of enchanting carols and fun new music that celebrates the magic of the festive season.Conducted by Lyn Williams OAM and hosted by James Valentine, the choirs (of more than 200 children) will be accompanied by a chamber orchestra to perform much loved works such as Silent Night and O Come All Ye Faithful as well as the fresh and fun new sounds of Australian Christmas.
This year 702 ABC Sydney’s James Valentine adds “composer” to his many talents and has written three songs, titled Three Christmas Cards, especially for the choirs offering a humorous commentary on contemporary Australian Christmas culture.
Gondwana Voices, established by Artistic Director Lyn Williams in 1997, is Australia’s national children’s choir and is made up of singers aged 10-16 from every state and territory in Australia. Sydney Children’s Choir is one of the world’s most innovative children’s choirs. They have commissioned over 50 works from leading Australian composers, performing a significant number of Australian compositions each year. Due to popular demand, this year there will be two performances of Voices of Angels.
