While the Esk Community Choir has been for the term of its 46 years generously living its mantra ‘Service in Song’ there are some moments when an event has been neither a gift of song, nor one of their own making and Sunday, 22nd September when Opera Eagle’s Nest came to town was yet one more serendipitous opportunity to bring the joy of singing to an audience at the Somerset Civic Centre.
Howard
Edmunds and his wife, Tania along with Glen Lorimer and Jenny are ‘Opera
Eagle’s Nest’, the performance group who boast many years of international
experience, who hail from Tambourine Mountain in Queensland. Performing in venues and settings as diverse
as their repertoire, Opera Eagle’s Nest have, since 2019, been bringing their
brand of Operatic arias, Operettas, well-loved Broadway hits and lots in
between to audiences in and around southeast Queensland.
On
this day, from the stage of the Somerset Civic Centre, Esk, Soprano Tania,
Tenor Glen interspersed with Howard’s witty comic relief and some spectacularly
colourful chorus and inspirational individual performances by members of the
Esk Community Choir, the appreciative audience was left elated having been
thoroughly entertained.
