Now in its third edition, our much-loved concert series fusing classical, jazz and popular song returns — this time celebrating the beauty and rhythm of the changing seasons. Presented in the intimate surrounds of The Neilson on Pier 2/3 by the harbour, the program invites audiences to experience the year’s cycle through music of warmth, reflection and joy.
Led by Sam Allchurch as well as Naomi Crellin and Nick Begbie of the award-winning a cappella ensemble The Idea of North, the Choir joins forces with a superb jazz trio to explore the shifting moods of nature and time.
Benjamin Britten’s radiant The Succession of the Four Sweet Months and Joe Twist’s On the Night Train capture the poetry of the natural world in luminous choral writing. These are paired with imaginative arrangements of beloved favourites, including the Beatles’ Here Comes the Sun, the Beach Boys’ Their Hearts Were Full of Spring, Gershwin’s Summertimefrom Porgy and Bess, and the jazz classic Autumn Leaves, made famous by Nat King Cole.
Blending elegance, swing and lyrical beauty, Time & Tide offers a captivating evening where genres meet, voices shimmer, and the turning of the year is celebrated in music of light, colour and grace.
Saturday, 19 September | 5pm & 8pm a the NEILSON, ACO on the Pier
