24.01.2022 Corinthian Singers is very pleased to be associated with https://www.aurorastrings.com for our Magnificat! concert on Sunday September 13 at 3pm. Book at Trybooking. To assist with COVIDSafe arrangements, we have a reduced number of tickets available and online bookings are essential. Seats are filling fast.

22.01.2022 Good King Wenceslas: a carol that Hugh Grant sings in Love Actually but does not dance to: https://www.youtube.com/watch. It was originally a spring dance tune. There was a Duke Wenceslas but probably not a king. Sing it with us at our concerts tonight Friday 13th 9pm and Sunday 15th 3pm, St Johns church Halifax Street. Jump the queue with TryBooking.

22.01.2022 Thanks everyone for a lovely sing last night: Andrew Georg for keyboards, the candle setup team, our fabulous audience who sang the community carols, Heather and Wendy for front of house, Sundry Angels, King Wenceslas, Adam and the Apples, our friends at St Johns, Sheila Bryce for publicity and of course Alistair Knight our Musical Director. Lets do it all again on Sunday at 3pm.

21.01.2022 Listen to Herbert Sumsions They that go down to the sea in ships: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYwlxHn921M. A fantastic chord sequence leads the sailors into safe haven. Well sing this in our Stories and Secrets program: Sunday September 15th 3pm: Tickets at Trybooking:https://www.trybooking.com/BESFC.

20.01.2022 Thomas Weelkes: known for his swearing and blasphemy and his love of Italianate music. Well be singing his beautiful madrigal "Now Every Tree" in our Sunday concert at Victor Harbor. Find us on Trybooking.

19.01.2022 A Christmas gift to all our Facebook friends, the alternative version of Away in a Manger - trust me, youll love it. Its from our Christmas concert, This Little Babe this year. Merry Christmas to all. https://soundcloud.com//away-in-a-manger-arr-reginald-jacq

19.01.2022 For COVID safety reasons, St John’s church has opted to postpone their usual People’s Messiah fundraiser. As yet it’s not considered safe to have people singing together as a large group. However we’re hoping for a blockbuster version in 2021: if possible earlier than Christmas 2021! Stay tuned ... (thanks to Arya Chen on Unsplash for the photo)

16.01.2022 It was an honour to sing at the St John Ambulance dedication service on Sunday at St Augustines in Unley. Congratulations to St John volunteers for so many years of service to the community.

16.01.2022 Vivaldi wrote many works for the girls chorus and orchestra at the orphanage where he taught violin - the Ospedale della Pieta. In the original score of his Magnificat, he wrote the names of some of the soloists. Some say that this work is even better than his famous Gloria. Book for our Magnificats concert, 29 March at: https://www.trybooking.com/BHYRH

15.01.2022 Looking forward to our concert on Sunday 28 July at Victor Harbor

13.01.2022 Its ironic that Wash me Throughly, by Samuel Sebastian Wesley was planned for our (postponed) Magnificat concert.Wesley was the grandson of the well-known Methodist Charles, but was stalwartly Church of England. Rebellion ran in the family. His father, also Samuel, was a secret Roman Catholic and did not marry his common-law partner. Samuel Sebastian himself rebelled by stubbornly refusing to adopt equal temperament keyboards, despite his second name Sebastian being a homage to Bach.

12.01.2022 Thanks to our lovely audience today at Newland church Victor Harbor. Hope you enjoyed the tour through English and Italian Renaissance harmony; from mundane to emotional and from religious to secular and back again. Just like the roller coaster politics of the time.

11.01.2022 On behalf of the Corinthian Singers I wish to advise you that due to the present Covid 19 situation and concern for the safety of our valued patrons we have decided to defer the Magnificat concert, Sunday 29 March at 3.00 pm in St Johns Church, to a future date yet to be decided. We will contact everyone who has purchased tickets via Trybooking soon to arrange a refund and I apologise for any inconvenience. This will be a difficult period for the Arts worldwide but we look... forward to presenting this concert of wonderful music when it is deemed safe to do so. Take care Steve Donovan President The Corinthian Singers of Adelaide
