Connections
Sunday, 28 September
3pm
Verbrugghen Hall,
Sydney Conservatorium of Music
Celebrate the rich diversity of human wisdom as we explore the great traditions of sacred music, reflected and refracted through time and place.
This concert embraces the passionate solemnity of the Renaissance, the lush harmonies of the Romantics, the transcendent beauty of the Baltic composers, plus three intensely dramatic Australian works: Aija Draguns brings her Latvian musical heritage to a First Nations prayer of thanksgiving in Holy Dreaming; Clare Maclean captures the infinite grandeur of creation in Et misericordia; and Nigel Butterley proves that there is nothing as joyful as a choir in 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!
