A merged set of four different promotion photos, one of each of our soloists. The leftmost is Rachael Joyce, who has long light brown hair and is wearing a stylish sleeveless strapped copper-coloured garment. The next is Jack Jordan, who tilts his head while looking neutrally into the camera, has medium-length dark brown hair that is combed back, and is wearing a blue sweater. The next is Alexandra Amerides, who has short buzzcut hair, is wearing a red jacket over a dark top, and raises one eyebrow in a quizzical expression as they are seated on light brown stairs in an outside environment. The last is Nicholas Dinopoulos, who has short dark hair, is wearing a black jacket over a red-and-white checkered shirt, and is looking forwards at a three-quarter angle with a neutral expression.

We’re very excited to announce our four soloists for our upcoming concert!! If you’ve not yet got your tickets for 6pm at St John’s Camberwell on the 29th, you can do so here, and like the Facebook event here.

Soprano Rachael Joyce graduated from her Honours degree in Classical Voice at Monash University in 2020. In 2022, Rachael covered a role in Victorian Opera’s production of ‘Il Mago di Oz’, and was a finalist at the National Liederfest. Rachael is a scholarship recipient with the Opera Scholars Australia programme, as well as a passionate singing teacher.

Jack Jordan is an avid classical musician who began his training with the Australian Boys Choral Institute. As a chorister, he has performed and studied music extensively across Melbourne and throughout Australia. Jack completed his Bachelor of Music in Classical Voice at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music. Jack frequently performs with Victorian Opera and the University of Melbourne.

Beginning their dramatic career at a young age, Alexandra Amerides has held scholarships with Melbourne’s most distinguished ensembles and companies. Amerides’ passion for the concert hall informs their vast repertoire of music, though they will always be called to the theatre and political activism through performance art and the avant-garde.

Nicholas Dinopoulos studied singing at the University of Melbourne under Merlyn Quaife AM. He maintains a busy performance schedule consisting of various concert, recital and operatic engagements, most notably as a core member of Songmakers Australia. He has appeared as a guest soloist with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Auckland Philharmonia, Bach Musica NZ, Royal Melbourne Philharmonic, Australian Haydn Ensemble, Ludovico’s Band, Latitude 37, Victorian Opera (Melbourne) and Pinchgut Opera (Sydney). He is frequently heard in national live-to-air broadcasts on ABC Classic & 3MBS FM, and his performances have been recorded by both the Chandos and Pinchgut Live labels. Follow his work here!

We are absolutely thrilled to be performing with these wonderful musicians, and can’t wait for you to hear us put together this incredible piece of music on the 29th!
