Vocal Bliss Concert this Sunday



Musical Matinees Presents
Vocal Bliss
One Show ONLY
1pm at St Andrews Presbyterian Church Newcastle on Sunday, October 25th, 2015


Greetings Music Lovers,

After a fabulous weekend of blissful baritones, and sublime piano with Peter Guy and Chris Allan, we now present our Acapella Nova Choir.

Prepare to be wooed by the beauty of the human voice.
Acapella Nova basses, tenors, altos and sopranos will blend their voices together in an afternoon of subtle and not so subtle pieces which explore music history and different ages.

The program begins with Seventeenth Century Rounds and progresses through European Music, Middle Eastern, Australian, New Zealand and Island music. There are songs of love and loss and the travails of life.

If you love beautiful music, come along and be wooed, thrilled, moved and thoroughly entertained!!

Afternoon Tea in Newcastle is included in the ticket price and is prepared by culinary artist ( and fabulous alto),  Jan Spencer who will serenade your palate with dishes from the countries and time periods on show.

Tickets are $35 and can be purchased online at www.stickytickets.com.au/musicalmatinees or at the door on the day
