St Patrick's Basilica in Fremantle is set to be the spectacular venue for this season's opener for the Pipe Organ Plus Concert series.

Freo organist Dominic Perissinotto will launch Pipe Organ Plus concert series on Saturday, March 18th at 7.30pm in the Basilica of St Patrick, Fremantle with a spectacular evening that will combine organ music with the harmonic voices of the Winthrop Singers.

2017 marks the tenth anniversary of The Winthrop Singers and the 17th concert season for Pipe Organ Plus. The Anniversary concert program will combine organ and choral favourites with music by Haydn, Mendelssohn, Howells, Handel and Stanford."The combination of a choir with the organ will sparkle in the Basilica's grand acoustics, ideally suited to the beautiful music on this programme," Dominic said."I am delighted to have The Winthrop Singers returning to my Pipe Organ Plus series. Their singing, under Nicholas Bannan's conducting, is joyous and vibrant, bringing the music to life!"Our Anniversary programme includes some of the all-time favourites of choral and organ music, with pieces bound to inspire and excite!"

Winthrop Singers Conductor Nicholas Bannan (Duncraig) said the 30-50 member-strong choir will make an exhilarating sound in the Basilica."Our home base at St George's College is a significantly smaller space, so being able to unleash the full potential of an expanded choir, including the mature voices of alumni, in conjunction in with the magnificent organs under Dominic Perissinotto's expert playing, is very exciting," Mr Bannan said.

The Winthrop Singers were formed in February 2007 in a partnership between the School of Music and St George's College at the University of Western Australia in Perth.
