For a proud and grand milestone (celebrating 40 years in 2025), Adelaide Chamber Singers bring you an equally grand offering. Forty for 40. Forty singers, forty parts.

Featuring members of Rising Voices and former-ACS singers, ACS place the artistry of the Renaissance alongside Crossin’s luminous compositional voice.
Featuring music by: Crossin, Tallis, Palestrina, Pärt, Laura Mvula, Reena Esmail, Owain Park and many more.
