The talent of the Ranges will be on show in Castlemaine next month, as The Gisborne Singers performs its first concert of 2025.
Set for Sunday, May 18, the concert program includes Purcell’s Come, Ye Sons of Art Away, and Vivaldi’s choral masterpiece Gloria in D Major – which is considered by many as one of sacred music’s most uplifting choral works.
Featuring renowned soloists Meryln Quaife and Kristen Leich, the choir will be accompanied by the Macedon Ranges Chamber Orchestra and conducted by Luke Severn.
Formed in 1980, The Gisborne Singers is a choral ensemble that has evolved over time and is currently focused on performing large-scale classical works.
Funds raised by ticket sales at its concerts and events all go towards the choir’s further activities, for example, performing alongside professional singers and orchestral players.
The May 18 concert will begin at 2.30pm at the Castlemaine Town Hall, with tickets able to be purchased online and costing $55 for full pricing, $45 for concession – along with free entry for those aged under 12.
The Gisborne Singers are a community choir and new members are always welcome, with no auditions required and rehearsals on Wednesdays at the Gisborne Uniting Church.
