The eagerly awaited evening concert series for the Elder Conservatorium of Music - ELDERHALL evenings - has been announced for 2008.

Between June and the end of November, a dazzling array of concerts will be presented showcasing the musicians and ensembles of the University of Adelaide's Conservatorium at their finest.

"With our new concert series for 2008, audiences will be thrilled with the rich and varied programs that range across all eras and styles," says Claire Oremland, Concert Manager for Elder Hall.

The concerts will feature the Elder Conservatorium's Chamber, Wind, Jazz and Symphony orchestras as well as all three Choirs. Guest artists from Australia and abroad will join these ensembles in a series that will suit every mood.

The first concert, Resonance, opens the season on 9 June with the rich, luscious string sounds of the Chamber Orchestra. The concert features the exquisite voice of Rosalind Martin in the beautifully evocative 'I Would Sing a Little While' by Calvin Bowman. Talented young violinist Madeline Procopio is soloist in Sculthorpe's Irkanda IV, with Josef Suk's youthful yet hauntingly expressive serenade finishing the program.

Other concerts include the jazz classic Sketches of Spain, featuring New York trumpeter Ray Vega; the Three Choirs at St Peters; Connections with the Wind Orchestra; a semi-staged version of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas; and the stark beauty and deep passions of Sibelius's Second Symphony will bring an outstanding evening series to its Finale.

"ELDERHALL evenings will be made very special by the young, talented musicians from the Elder Conservatorium of Music as they share their expertise, passion and love for music with the community of Adelaide," Ms Oremland says.
