Our choir mid-performance of Stabat Mater! You can see our four soloists seated in chairs near the front of the stage on the left of the image, in front of the piano (behind which two figures sit, one playing and one page-turning). Our conductor Lachie busily conducts, standing on the right of the image in front of a music stand, and we see the choir standing in rows busily singing next to the piano and behind the soloists. The environment is light brown and churchy - we see what looks like a pipe organ and an intricate painting in the background.

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.
