Songs of Longing and Belonging
Singing choral gems from mediaeval England, renaissance France and right through to contemporary outback Australia, Voices in the Wilderness explore the ties that bind us to people and place. Love, loss, joy, nostalgia; in Songs of Longing and Belonging there’s a little something for everyone.

Music of ecstasy and devotion
From the 16th century on, a host of brilliant women practiced their music within the confines of Italian convents. Sacred Hearts will share some of the love songs written by nuns to their heavenly husband and mother.

Merry Men at Mary Mags
The unique sound of the Merry Men male vocal ensemble singing beautifully and passionately for your edification. Solo and ensemble singing to gladden your hearts. Songs of sailors and the sea, sacred and secular music from many lands and many centuries, and of course a drinking song!
Presented by: St Mary Magdalene's Anglican Church
St Mary Magdalene’s is an Anglican church in the heart of the city of Adelaide, an open, welcoming and inclusive Christian community. Founded in Moore Street in 1886, the church has been a constant presence in the city, having a commitment to social justice, and a special ministry to the poor and marginalised people of the city.
St Mary Magdalene’s church building is a beautiful little jewel, visually delightful and with a lovely acoustic well suited to vocal music. In 2018 the church community continues the popular tradition of hosting concerts as part of the Fringe Festival.
