The Australian Rugby Choir (ARC) entertained a well filled Hughes Baptist Church with their Spirit of the Earth concert. Directed by Shilong Ye, and accompanied by the inimitable Karen Da Silva, the choir performed a range of songs, from You Raise Me Up to You've Got a Friend in Me. The crowd loved their favourites, I Still Call Australia Home and Shelter, sang along to Hey Jude and were energised by Every Time I Feel the Spirit.
Shilong Ye and Karen Da Silva also entertained with instrumental performances of Lascia ch'io pianga and Summertime on violin and piano.
The performance finished in the Australian Rugby Choir tradition, singing the rugby classic World in Union with retired members joining the choir on stage.
