Concordis Chamber Choir is a Melbourne based ensemble united by a passion for choral music and a dedication to achieving a high quality sound. Determined to embrace a variety of musical styles, the choir has an eclectic and ever-expanding repertoire.
After the disappointing cancellation of concerts in 2021 and 2020 Concordis was thrilled to be back singing. The group wanted to make their first concert after lock down special and to share the joy of making music once more.
The theme chosen for the concert was one of reflection, renewal and healing which was especially relevant after the adversity and difficulties faced over the last two years. The repertoire focussed on water, oceans and tides as a metaphor for this healing process which interwove in different ways throughout the music program.
‘Eventide’ was chosen as the name for the concert reinforcing these reflective themes. A tidal pattern was created for each song using graphic devices relating to water, ocean and the moon and constructed to represent the nature of each song. These patterns were used in both static and animated form throughout the identity. Printed programs featured each pattern which was then projected above the choir during the concert.
A colour palette of blues featured in the identity which then flowed into the lighting design. A number up up lights were spread throughout each concert space to create a wash of blue.
Project Role
I designed the identity for Eventide in collaboration with the choir and Musical Director. I developed the name and tone of the concert based off the concerts program, designed and implemented the identity system, designed and installed the concert spaces and managed print, signage and lighting vendors. I had assistance with animation work from another talented designer.
