As part of the celebrations, Counterpoint will present a concert in St. Peter’s Church East Maitland at 2 pm on Sunday, 12th August, tickets available at the door $20 each.

Counterpoint is a Maitland based choir, formed in 1996 and now comprising of 20 members. Evanne Sherringham has been the Musical Director since 2004 and the choir has an extensive choral repertoire that includes premier performances by overseas and Australian composers, music from classical to contemporary both sacred and secular, as well as folk music. The choir has launched two CDs and this year, with the aid of a Local Government grant commissioned a work ‘Molly Morgan’ by Maitland composer, Gilbert Beveridge.
Counterpoint performs throughout the Hunter Valley mainly to help with fundraising for various organisations and churches. In 2010 Counterpoint together with The Newcastle Tudor Singers presented ‘The Best of The Messiah’, also in St. Peter’s Church East Maitland.

The concert in August will include ‘Molly Morgan’, accompanied by the composer as well as spirituals, folk songs and Broadway musicals.
