‘Love and light’ in harmony
FOLLOWING January’s sold-out season of Les Misérables, Cairns Choral Society has high expectations for their next event available for one night only on Wednesday, April 24.
Celebrating its centenary year with sell-out events and special occasions culminating in January’s 10-show season of Les Misérables, Cairns Choral Society hopes to achieve similar with their upcoming ‘Songs of Love and Light’ show this month.
Held at St Monica’s Cathedral, Songs of Love and Light will combine the talent of 149 performers ranging in age from six to 84, including a magnificent brass ensemble, an exciting chamber orchestra, Cairns Young Voices, and talented soloists.
Cairns Choral Society musical director Joanne Wright said the concert highlight would be the Australian premiere of Illuminaire, an extended work for choir and chamber orchestra by notable American composer Elaine Hagenberg.
“Songs of Love and Light will use the acoustic power and magical setting of St Monica’s Cathedral to showcase a curated collection of incredible music performed by the city’s talented musicians and vocalists,” she said.
“There is no doubt that the combination of music we have chosen will tap into people’s hearts and provide a truly special and enlightening experience for music lovers.”
Songs of Love and Light will be performed on Wednesday, April 24 at St Monica’s Cathedral in Abbott St, Cairns. Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30 pm start. Tickets are $38 per person, and seating is unallocated.
