One Voice
Saturday 12 December 2015
St Andrew's Anglican Church, Indooroopilly
Fusion celebrated Christmas with a mix of traditional carols for the season, and some international flavour from Sweden, the Caribbean, and South Africa. Stepping away from the more conventional repertoire for choirs, we branched out into some 'lighter' fare with several arrangements from some of the world's top a cappella groups: Straight No Chaser, the Real Group, Rajaton, and the Swingle Singers. Two beautiful pieces by Australian composers Matthew Orlovich and Keren Terpstra led into a final set of music arranged by Carl Crossin, founder and director of the Adelaide Chamber Singers.
