Event Details
Sydney Philharmonia Choirs present the great works for organ and large chorus hailing from both the ‘mother country’ and our own fair shores. Brighton to Bondi explores traditional English choral songs set in contrast to the land, the people and the cities of Australia through some of this country’s most evocative repertoire. Join us and witness the captivating 400 voices of Festival Chorus and VOX. This is a concert that is sure to leave you feeling at once both patriotic and historically nostalgic!
Featured non-Australian music: Parry
