Next year's 10th Anniversary Concerts and Celebrations are not to be missed! And the best way to make sure you're part of the fun is to become an Amigo by providing your contact details through our CONTACT page.
Here's a taste of what to expect...
Concert 1: APRIL - our very first Come and Sing!
This is your chance to perform the much loved Misa Criolla by Ariel Ramirez on stage with Coro Austral!
Margot conducted the combined choirs in this work at the Blackheath Choir Festival in 2018,and we have received many requests for a repeat performance. Expect to attend two or three weekend rehearsals, culminating in our performance for choir and traditional Latin American instruments.
Concert 2 : AUGUST/SEPTEMBER - Bach To Brazil
Featuring works inspired by Spanish or Latin American music, and vice versa, this is really a thinly-veiled excuse for our Artistic Director to get to do some Bach, who was an inspiration to many musicians, including Brazil's Heitor Villa Lobos. It will be a wide-ranging program, covering many countries and eras, showcasing some of the fabulous music that now exists on the intersection of Hispanic and mainstream Western traditions.
Concert 3: NOVEMBER/DECEMBER - Tango/Milonga
We will finish the year with a concert AND party to celebrate 10 years of Coro Austral!
Starting with a dance workshop, the evening will segue into a tango-inspired concert for choir and instrumental ensemble (including an Australian premiere!), and will finish with a tango/milonga dance party and feast!
