Graduate Singers - Cristemas
Pilgrim Uniting Church
Graduate Singers closes the year in joy with Cristemas. Two concerts of joyous Christmas music, accompanied by the pageantry of brass and organ, in two of Adelaide's most beautiful spaces.
As the year draws to a close and the days fill with gatherings, there is a moment many of us look for: a chance to stop, sit amongst others, and let music carry us into the season.
Graduate Singers offers that opportunity with Cristemas, a Christmas concert celebrating family, friendship and togetherness. Under the direction of conductor Karl Geiger, with David Heah at the organ and a quartet of Adelaide's finest brass players, the choir will fill the soaring heights of St Peter's Cathedral, and the warmth of Pilgrim Uniting Church, with music for the end of the year.
From ancient hymns that have echoed through churches and concert halls for centuries, to contemporary works that have quickly become treasures in their own right, these performances offer insight into why Christmas matters, year after year. Tender lullabies hold the room in quiet wonder, and the exuberance of brass and organ brings us back to joy. Audiences are also invited to raise their own voices in community carols, so the concerts belong as much to the people in the pews as to the choir.
