The Song Company presents Fire of Love, as they explore the nature of love across the ages. From the courtly romance of the troubadours to the sensuous madrigal musings of Marenzio, this concert explores the fire of emotion stretching all the way to the classic songs of Jacques Brel and Cole Porter. And some recent but equally poignant love songs by Bon Iver and Pink prove the point: love is eternal.

Sunday 18 October 4pm at The Town Hall

Tickets available through Carrs NewsXpress in Beardy St Mall or via Trybooking.

Pre concert talk at 3:15pm by The Song Company’s Artistic Director Roland Peelman

Join The Song Company as they celebrate the heat and passion of Fire and the music which expresses it.

The Fire of Love explores the nature of love across the ages.  Fire, perhaps the most powerful of all elements, signifies heat, purification and change.  Young love, sweet love, old love, any kind of love is worth a song or two.  From the courtly romance of the troubadours to the sensuous madrigal musings of Marenzio, this concert explores the fire of emotion stretching all the way to the classic songs of Jacques Brel and Cole Porter.  And some recent but equally poignant love songs by Bon Iver and Pink prove their point: love is eternal.

The Song Company is an a cappella ensemble of six professional singers.  From its beginnings in 1984, the ensemble has grown to exemplify its aim of providing for Australia a group capable of international standard performances in the field of vocal chamber music.  Under the guidance of Roland Peelman, Artistic Director since 1990, that goal has developed into exploring and creating new repertoire for the voice and building the expertise to match.  Over 30 years, the ensemble’s schedule has grown to include a mix of national and international touring, a subscription series in cities across Australia, recording and broadcast projects, education activities, and special collaborative projects.
