Their works will be performed alongside music from eminent composers such as Anne Boyd AM and Moya Henderson.

Performed by the Chamber Singers, a dynamic ensemble of Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, Australia’s finest choral performing arts company, the concert will be led by Music Director and University of Sydney alumnus Brett Weymark, who will be joined by emerging conductor Claire Howard-Race.
