Music for peace in times of struggle, our first concert for 2024 pairs Thomas Tallis’ extraordinary Lamentations of Jeremiah with Stefan Cassomenos’ fresh arrangement of Stravinsky’s haunting Symphony of Psalms, featuring violin, clarinet and piano. Rounding out the program are Lilly Boulanger’s Vieille Prière Bouddhique (Old Buddhist Prayer) and the enchanting Deus. Deus Meus by Roxanna Panufnik.

The choir will be accompanied by three brilliant instrumentalists, coming together in a rarely-heard harmony of voice and sound.

Concert 2 – Flight | Saturday 27 July, 2024

Composers and poets have long been captivated by the notion of taking to the sky; whether it be through our own technological endeavours or those of the animal kingdom. Our Winter concert for 2024 is an uplifting celebration of works that encourage us to look upwards: featuring Eric Whitacre’s choral tour de force Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine, Dan Walker’s setting of the glorious John Gillespie Magee poem High Flight, Kristopher Fulton’s telling of ill-fated Icarus, as well as works by Esenvalds, Stanford and Australian composers Joe Twist and Matthew Orlovich.
