AMVC Sings G&S

Music

The Adelaide Male Voice Choir was formed in 1884 as the Adelaide English Glee Society. Although it has changed its name it hasn't changed its commitment to providing top quality performances of great music for the enjoyment of the South Australian community. This concert features highlights from a number of Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas, which were all the rage around the time the Choir was first established. As guest soloists with the Choir, well-known opera soprano Joanna McWaters and baritone Andrew Turner demonstrate their versatility in a variety of roles. The witty lyrics and sparkling music are as fresh today as ever. Sit back and enjoy this delightful performance of music specially selected for this occasion. The previous concerts were sold-out, so book now for a real treat.
