The concert will take place on Saturday 22 November at the Tree of Life Chapel, Hillbrook Anglican School, Hurdcotte Street, running from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
The chorale, conducted by Joshua Clifford and accompanied by pianist Judy Collins, will perform pieces by composers and songwriters including Joe Twist, Jodie O’Regan, Amy Bebbington, Cyndi Lauper, Dr Mark Patterson and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Among the highlights is the moving piece Listen by Indian‑American composer Reena Esmail, known for combining Indian and Western classical traditions. Esmail trained at The Juilliard School and the Yale School of Music, and has composed for major orchestras and festivals worldwide.
Another standout is Shadowland from the Broadway adaptation of The Lion King, composed by Lebo M and Hans Zimmer; the piece is performed in both English and African languages and explores themes of injustice and survival.
Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for concessions and free for children under five. The event will also include the chorale’s traditional raffle, a popular highlight for families and visitors alike. The concert reflects the chorale’s mission to create joyful, uplifting musical experiences and foster community engagement.
About Hillbrook Chorale
The Hillbrook Chorale has been part of the Hillbrook Anglican School community since the school opened in 1986. Co‑founder Norm Hunter OAM recalled that, in the early days, the school looked for ways to strengthen its community culture and he believed music could serve as a unifying force. He approached John Webber with the idea of forming a choir for past students and current and former parents. Webber supported the plan and the chorale was soon established.
Today the chorale continues to welcome singers from all backgrounds and skill levels. Rehearsals are held every Monday evening from 7 pm to 9 pm in the Tree of Life Chapel, providing a space for learning, singing and building community connections.
The group regularly performs a diverse range of musical styles throughout the year and maintains a supportive and stimulating environment for all members.
For local residents and visitors, the upcoming concert offers a chance to enjoy a shared musical experience in a welcoming setting. Ample parking is available on campus and nearby streets, making it accessible to local families and residents.
