In 2026, we are delighted to be part of the new Morning Series at The Pavilion Performing Arts Centre Sutherland.
In collaboration with Sutherland Shire Choral Society, we present an exciting program of sacred and secular works from Australia and the choral heartlands of the Baltic and Nordic regions.
From the lush harmonies of Eriks Ešenvalds’ Long Road, to the quiet devotion of works by Edvard Grieg and Arvo Pärt and the vivid contemporary colours of Australians Nigel Butterley, Meta Cohen and Aija Draguns, Look Up to the Sky celebrates the purity, depth and quiet radiance of choral music — a journey across cultures, seasons and light.
