Christ Church St Laurence

Livestream on Australian Digital Concert Hall

Celebrate the beauty of the English choral tradition with this array of Romantic masterpieces. Drawing inspiration from the simplicity of the Renaissance while revelling in a rich new harmonic landscape, this is music that opens up whole worlds of emotion.

Treat yourself to the soaring grace of Stanford’s The Blue Bird and Elgar’s majestic Lux aeterna; taste the exquisite tenderness of Imogen Holst’s A Hymne to Christ, the gentle ecstasy of Gustav Holst’s Nunc dimittis and the wild rapture of Finzi’s love song My Spirit Sang All Day; feel the yearning of Vaughan Williams’ Agnus Dei, the warmth of Judith Weir’s Love Bade Me Welcome and the poignant embrace of Parry’s Songs of Farewell. Join with us in discovering a new work by Australian composer Harry Sdraulig. And let Tavener’s transcendent Song for Athene fill you with joy.
