Gold Coast city Choir celebrates 50 years of coral singing by performing Karl Jenkins Symponic Adiemus in collaboration with the Gold Coast Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Choir Director and Conductor Suzanne Roberts.
Background on the music
Jenkins is a British composer who created this unusual orchestral piece. The vocals are not real words, but sounds that Jenkins created to go with the music, essentially using the voice as an instrument. . He made up the word "Adiemus," and later learned that it roughly translates in Latin to "We will draw near."
