Now that the ice of winter is finally thawing and spring is in sight, we are busy preparing for our upcoming concert ‘A Musical Banquet’.

Your musical palate promises to be delighted by melodious morsels such as the Mexican rhythms of Chilli Con Carne and the full flavours of Food Glorious Food from the musical ‘Oliver’. The main course will be a suite of songs by Bob Chilcott of King’s Singers fame, perfectly complemented by the Wassail Song arranged by Ralph Vaughan Williams. This choral banquet will be accompanied by Karl Geiger on keyboard.

Both concerts are at Malvern Uniting Church Hall, 44 Marlborough Street, Malvern.

Messiah Madness

corinthiansingers — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 23:04:45 +0000

Here at Corinthians headquarters we are very excited about our People’s Messiah concerts, which are coming up this weekend on the 4th and 5th of December. They’re always tons of fun and a great way to welcome the Christmas season, and all proceeds go to two worthy Adelaide charities. For anyone who is unfamiliar with the concept of a People’s Messiah, the idea is that anyone can come along armed with a score (or borrow one at the door on the way in) and then join in on the choruses. Anyone is also free to just sit back and enjoy the sound, but audience participation is encouraged! Click here for further information on dates and bookings.

As we don’t sing the full Messiah at Christmas, below is a list of the choruses that we’ll be singing this year for any particularly enthusiastic participants who would like to practise beforehand.

People’s Messiah Choruses 2010:

Chorus – And the glory of the Lord
Chorus – And he shall purify
Chorus – O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion
Chorus – Glory to God
Chorus – His yoke is easy
Chorus – Lift up your heads
Chorus – The Lord gave the word
Chorus – Their sound is gone out
Chorus – Let us break their bonds asunder
Chorus – Hallelujah
Chorus – Since by man came death
Chorus – Worthy is the Lamb
Chorus – Amen

We hope to see you there!

Christmas with Corinthians

corinthiansingers — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 04:16:56 +0000

Thank you so much to all those who attended one of our Celtic Journey concerts. We consider them a huge success, despite the somewhat tumultuous weather, and your support is greatly appreciated. It has been wonderful working with Emma and learning such gorgeous music over the last few months, and we’re thrilled with the outcome.

It’s now time to turn our attention to the Christmas season! This year we will be presenting two Christmas concerts, one at St John’s Anglican Church and one at St Peter’s Cathedral. Our programme will include a varied selection of beautiful music by composers such as Tomas Luis de Victoria, John Taverner, John Rutter, Pietro A. Yon and Ralph Vaughan Williams, with traditional Spanish carols arranged by Adelaide’s Carl Crossin. We also look forward to singing our favourite congregational carols such as O Come All Ye Faithful and Once in Royal David’s City.

We are also delighted to present two People’s Messiahs again this year, one at St John’s and one at the beautiful Coriole Winery. For the uninitiated, a People’s Messiah involves the audience joining in on all the wonderful Handel choruses, with singing ability being entirely optional. The experience is highly recommended!

Saturday 4th December, 5pm at Coriole Vineyards, McLaren Vale
