Event Details
Pondering how to do good in the face of so much bad, featuring premieres by Clare Maclean (who writes some of the world’s finest choral music from her base in Sydney’s western suburbs) and Cathy Milliken (Adelaide Symphony Orchestra's composer-in-association). Framed by 16th century motets are works by Bang on a Can’s David Lang, Ned Rorem’s exquisite Mercy and Truth and Bruckner’s deeply moving Os Justi. Oh, and Delalande’s Grand Motet for the court of Louis XIV to a text later engraved on US guns.
