Mid-Year.Time for a Little Reflection
The first stand-alone light concert will be in May, and rehearsals are starting, under the working title ‘Sentimental Journey’.
On Saturday, May 16, the choir will return to one of their favourite small venues: the Oberon Uniting Church Hall, where the locals put on a wonderful afternoon tea for patrons and performers.
The following day, Sunday May 17 will be an opportunity for audiences to enjoy one of Bathurst’s most delightful performance spaces. The Ponton Theatre, situated in the campus of Charles Sturt University, was for many years the centre of performing arts for university students, and was avidly supported by the Bathurst community. Following its refurbishment some time ago, changes in curricula, and many courses now conducted on line have resulted in under-utilisation of the theatre. Allegri Singers are very much looking forward to performing in this venue; perhaps they will be in the vanguard of a movement to re-vitalize what was formerly an important part of Bathurst’s cultural scene.
The Big One to end the year!
Following the May concerts, intense rehearsals will begin for the big event of the year, in November. Under the title ‘Christmas with Bach’, this will be an all Bach program, with three cantatas from his Christmas Oratorio, and other works for chorus, orchestra and organ.
Performances will be in Orange and Bathurst, on November 28 and 29 respectively.
This will be a huge undertaking, with music that demands a high degree of expertise from all participants – chorus, orchestra and soloists, and of course, the Musical Director, William Moxey! So, to potential audiences – if you thought Handel’s ‘Messiah’ was magnificent make sure you don’t miss ‘Christmas with Bach’ – this is going to be something really special!
