Choral Edge: Waves

Dive into the immersive experience of Waves, a concert that celebrates humanity’s essential connection to water and community. Through a dynamic fusion of music and participatory art, Waves will take you on a voyage that mirrors the ebb and flow of water—its power to connect, sustain, and inspire.

This unique performance brings together a diverse collection of composers from George Brecht to Aurora, weaving together melodies that reflect the rhythms of rivers, oceans, and rain. From tranquil reflections to roaring crescendos, Waves explores how water shapes our lives, cultures, and shared histories.

Join us as we reflect on the beauty a single droplet can hold and the vital role water plays in bringing people together.

About

Choral Edge is one of Melbourne’s most innovative and engaging choirs. Led by director Marjorie Hannah, this troupe of versatile and talented singers seeks to expand the boundaries of choral music and delight audiences through playful, multi-dimensional projects.

In 2018 their debut project Stories from the Choir blended elements of theatre, journalism and choral music into a moving piece of choral-theatre, winning a nomination for Best Music at the Melbourne Fringe Festival. This enchanting combination of choir and theatre opened up further exciting collaborations with other groups including Periscope Productions (The Human Voice, 2021) and comedy duo Pink Flappy Bits (Private Parts, 2022).

Choral Edge’s self-produced concerts are always imaginative and immersive. Highlights include #Millennials, a brunch concert of music by young composers, 1+1=3, a fusion of virtuosic piano and choral storytelling, and Scribbles, a communal art-making project where the audience drew and doodled their way through an hour of music.
The choir’s playful and inviting approach to choral performance continues to push boundaries and introduce new audiences to the exciting possibilities of great choral music.
