Event Details
Celebrate the beauty and the thrill of new music in this gala concert, as we give the world premiere performances of five pieces specially commissioned by Sydney Chamber Choir from five of the most exciting compositional talents in the country, each exploring a different facet of what love can mean. And then experience the emotional power of Paul Stanhope’s groundbreaking and award-winning re-imagining of the Requiem mass, its ancient texts enriched with contemporary insights on love, loss, life and hope from poets including Emily Dickinson and Oodgeroo Noonuccal. Commissioning music has been at the heart of our music making since our earliest years, and we are proud to be creating and sharing new masterpieces – a gift to you on our 50th birthday!
