One dark and stormy night, with blinding lightning and thunder crashing…sounds like the beginning of a fairy tale, but no, it describes the atmosphere surrounding the 2010 Christmas Concert, held at Robert Blackwood Hall, Monash University in DECEMBER!
Despite the challenges presented by the weather, the Junior and Elementary choristers opened the concert with a vibrant performance.
The Performing Choir and Men’s Choir were then joined by our orchestra and soloists Siobhan Stagg, Belinda Paterson, Benjamin Namdarian and Anthony Mackey to sing Missa Sancti Nicolai (St Nicholas Mass) by Joseph Haydn.
The second half included many Christmas favourites and a few new carols, with the Christmas season well and truly ‘rung in’ by the time the last notes were sung and played – just in time for everyone to exit into a huge storm!
