Beethoven for Bougainville
Music lovers have a rare opportunity to enjoy Beethoven’s magnificent Choral Symphony no 9 amidst glorious surrounds while contributing to the education of needy students in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea.
St Joseph’s College Hun-ters Hill will host a concert by the Eastern Sydney Chamber Orchestra & Choir this Sunday June 20 June in the College chapel, Mark Street, at 2.30pm.
All profits will go to supporting the students and families of St Joseph’s School in Mabiri, Bougainville.
The orchestra will be joined by guest singers Mabiri Voices for the performance and concert also features soloists Samantha Maddison (soprano), Amanda Wagg (alto), Stuart Nielsen Kemp (tenor) and Simon Turnill (bass).
These talented performers have extensive national and international experience.
