Loose Canon Chamber singers are an award winning a capella choir with a wide repertoire stretching from the Baroque to 20th Century Jazz.
Loose Canon Chamber Singers originally started in 2004 as the TSO Chamber Choir and has continued as an independent a capella group by audition, regularly performing at festivals, commemorative occasions and in regional centres in Tasmania. The name, ‘’Loose Canon Chamber Singers’’ is a fabulous play on words, and a reference to the groups wide ranging and eclectic tastes.
Loose Canon don’t have a regular conductor apart from Sue Harradence (Alto) who prepares the group for concerts with final polishing by invited conductors. This has given the group a broad spectrum of singing opportunities.
Our Moonah Arts Centre concert includes a range of composition from16th century madrigals to 20th century jazz. While mainly in English, the concert will also feature songs from other major languages. The Singers will be under the musical direction of Stephanie Abercromby.
Stephanie Abercromby has been a repetiteur for ABC opera concerts and appeared regularly as a soloist with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra. She has sung with and directed the Jane Franklin Consort, and was repetiteur with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra Chorus before retiring in 2010. Stephanie was also director of the Tasmanian Chorale from 2005 to 2010. The Concert will also feature guest artist Genevieve Stather on clarinet.
