Sydney Philharmonia Chamber Singers Present 'In the Mood'
Sydney Philharmonia’s acclaimed Chamber Singers appear in a new light! Accompanied by a jazz trio, they’ll present a cabaret-style concert of classic popular songs from the 1920s and 30s, wrapped in the stories of a city plunging between a spirit of optimism and the challenges of the Depression.

Think Fats Waller, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Richard Rodgers and more – in sophisticated upbeat arrangements with the cool sound of piano, bass and reeds.
Think Ain't Misbehavin', Autumn Leaves, I Got Rhythm, Blue Moon, Over the Rainbow and more, all presented in sophisticated upbeat arrangements, accompanied by a jazz trio comprising piano, bass and reeds.
But this is more than a concert… Conductor and Artistic Director Brett Weymark has wrapped the musical program in the stories and ephemera of Sydney between the wars – a city plunging between a spirit of optimism and the challenges of the Depression.

Friday 30 August at 8pm
Sydney Opera House Utzon Room
