Splendour & Mystery
The brilliance of brass and the warmth of the human voice, in a concert of resonances and reflections. Renaissance masters Gabrieli and Schütz, a tantalising journey into eternity with John Tavener, new worlds of transcendent beauty from Australians Clare Maclean and Brooke Shelley, and from Swiss composer Frank Martin – one of the finest works ever written for double choir.

Winter Nights
The seductive beauty of French song: timeless ballads by cabaret legends Edith Piaf and Jacques Brel, irresistible flights of fantasy from Debussy and Ravel, while Poulenc reveals the dark secrets of a snowy night. Heather Percy’s Three Night Songs explore the mysterious beauties of day’s end, and Eric Whitacre’s Sleep carries us gently into the mysterious world of dreams.
6 – 8 October 2023

“I sense that with a small ensemble like ours, the audience gets to know us over the course of attending concerts. With the diversity of our repertoire and the calibre of the singers, the intentional presence of certain voices at times is just as important as blend, in communicating the text and music. There is an intimacy and a connection there that is made and remade.”
