Director: Pat Rix, Jonathan Welch AM
Resident Conductor: Jonathan Bligh
Cast: Tutti Choir, Choir of Hope and Inspiration
The stars of the smash hit ABC Documentary, ARIA, Logie and Helpmann Award winning Choir of Hard Knocks, now known as the Choir of Hope and Inspiration, along with their Founding Music Director, Dr Jonathon Welch AM, will come to Adelaide for the first time to perform with our very own Tutti Choir, led by Tutti's Resident Conductor, Jonathan Bligh, in Happy together.
"It has been an amazing journey for the Choir of Hard Knocks over the past four years, and I know that when we come together with Tutti for the first time, it is going to be a magic meeting of two very special choirs which have brought thousands of people a sense of hope and inspiration," said Dr Welch.
"The Tutti Choir welcomes this fabulous opportunity to perform with Jonathan Welch and the Choir of Hope and Inspiration at the Adelaide Town Hall. We are truly kindred spirits and when like-minded artists get together, magic does happen! This will be a dazzling musical celebration by two trail-blazing Australian choirs and we are looking forward to it immensely," said Ms Rix.
Tutti was founded by South Australia's 2007 Local Hero, Pat Rix.

Congratulations to all Tuttians involved in last nights performance, it was fantastic. We were surrounded by people toe tapping, swaying etc, a real buzz in the air. We also had friends attend for the first time and they told me at half time they had sat there with a lump in their throats from start to finish, agog at the quality of what they were listening to. You should all be very proud of yourselves and I hope you all enjoy a well earned break. Cheers Denise Congratulations again on a top performance.

The Tutti Choir are well known for their uplifting concerts, but this one was something else again, as they gave the first half of the concert themselves and then handed over the stage for the second half of the concert to the Choir of Hope and Inspiration, formerly known as the Choir of Hard Knocks. The combined choirs then closed the concert with two rousing numbers. (more)
