Hastings Choristers bring the joy of song to the Glasshouse

Port Macquarie’s wonderful new Glasshouse facility delivers the high quality, acoustically perfect artistic performances that the local community has long deserved. While many performances will be sourced from outside the region, The Glasshouse is also a huge step forward for our local talent.

Hastings Choristers, who have been bringing the joy of song to Greater Port Macquarie since 1990, are thrilled and delighted to announce their debut concert series in The Glasshouse – an association sure to bring enhanced enjoyment and pleasure to the audiences of this talented and versatile ensemble.

The Bach to Broadway concerts will take place at 8pm on Saturday 31 October and 2pm on Sunday 1 November, and will celebrate five centuries of amazing and much loved music.

The Hastings Choristers choirs, Cantorus and Cantabile, are eagerly awaiting their first full production in the fantastic new venue. These choirs make an impressive sight, as well as sweet sounds, and both have a large local following of music lovers who appreciate fine music – the Bach to Broadway program will certainly not disappoint.

Magnificent soloists are a feature of these concerts: talented locals, Amanda Gordon, John Thompson and Laura Bereicua will strut their stuff alongside three invited guest artists, sopranos Julie and Jodie Goodwin and baritone Rob McDougall.

A star-studded line up indeed, with Julie just completing a 2-year, 200 performance Australasian tour in the role of Christine Daae in Phantom of the Opera.

The Bach to Broadway repertoire is wide-ranging: popular Classics to Broadway hits and everything in between, with something for every musical taste. Patrons will thrill to the uplifting Anthem from Chess and the Flower Duet from Lakme, while toe-tapping along to Fever and the Gospel Waitin for the Light to Shine, plus much more.

With only two opportunities to hear these wonderful concerts, you’ll need to hurry on down to The Glasshouse Box Office to secure the very best seats. Tickets are now on sale at $30 per person, with $25 concession and $20 for children.
