Event Details
Celebrate the rich diversity of human wisdom as we explore the great traditions of sacred and secular music, reflected and refracted through time and place. This concert embraces the passionate solemnity of the Renaissance, the transcendent beauty of the Baltic composers, plus intensely dramatic Australian works: Aija Draguns brings her Latvian musical heritage to a First Nations prayer of thanksgiving in Holy Dreaming; Clare Maclean and Joe Twist capture the infinite grandeur of creation in Et misericordia and Sunrise on the Coast; Meta Cohen and Harry Sdraulig encourage us to look to the skies in Meteora and Evening Star, and Nigel Butterley proves that there is nothing as joyful as a choir in Surrexit Dominus from The True Samaritan. Travel with us across centuries and continents, guided by the musical directors who have shaped the Choir from its beginning to the present day – and beyond!
Featured non-Australian music: Antoine Brumel - Sicut lilium, Ẽriks Ešenvalds - Long Road, Josquin des Prez - Agnus Dei III from Missa l'homme armé sexti toni, Urmas Sisask - Benedictio
