ALLEGRI SINGERS CONCERTS Saturday 16 NOV. 2024.
Performances:
Sat. 16th November. 3pm at the Hoskins Memorial Uniting Church, Lithgow.
Four brilliant soloists will join the Allegri Singers in their final concerts for 2024.Under the concert title Purcell-ebration, William Moxey will direct the ensemble as they perform some of the most sublime music from across five centuries, including two of Henry Purcell’s best- known works. Come Ye Sons of Art is the principal item in the program. It is scored for chorus and orchestra, with vocal solos from one soprano, two counter-tenors, and one bass.
This is a joyful work, composed for the celebration of the birthday of Queen Mary, a devoted patron of the arts, and of Purcell in particular. Orchestral accompaniment will be by the Allegri Players, who will also perform additional works by Purcell and Handel.
Bathurst’s very own Bethany Carter-Sherlock will perform the soprano solo. Bethany is a highly qualified and gifted performer of harp, piano and voice. She has been a chorister and soloist with Allegri Singers in numerous productions, including Handel’s Messiah and Vivaldi’s Gloria. Three more soloists will join the ensemble. Counter-tenors Paul Tenorio and Robert Shlemon Adam, and bass Jesse van Proctor, bring a wealth of experience in solo and ensemble performances in Australia and overseas.
Here is an opportunity to hear some brilliant emerging and established singers, as they join the choir to sing the praises of Queen Mary, on her birthday (in 1694!).
The remainder of the program contains beautiful orchestral and choral music by Purcell, Handel, Bruckner, Rachmaninov, Josquin des Prez and Carissimi.
