CELESTIAL // ADELAIDE CHAMBER SINGERS - in person

  • St Peter's Cathedral 27 King William Road North Adelaide, SA, 5006 Australia (map)

The Adelaide Chamber Singers return with their celebrated Late Night in the Cathedral performances.

Under the guidance of Artistic Director and Conductor Christie Anderson, the voices of the choir will swell to fill the vaulted space of St Peter’s Cathedral and envelop the audience in sound. The beauty and mystery of the night sky forms a common link in this program of both sacred and secular works. Each performance has two sections – earthly Dark Night and heavenly Luminous Night – and the program includes works by JS Bach, Tallis, Elgar, Ešenvalds, Joe Twist and Whitacre.

In this single sung-through experience, the singers will perform while moving through the space. Celestial is an immersive aural, visual and spiritual experience that transcends the chaos of everyday life.
