Sydney Chamber Choir 50th Anniversary Gala
July 5 @ 3:00 pm
The Sydney Chamber Choir conducted by its Artistic Director Sam Allchurch celebrates 50 years of music making with the beauty and the thrill of new music in this gala concert.
The choir will sing the world premiere performances of five specially commissioned pieces by five of the most exciting compositional talents in the country, each exploring a different facet of what ‘love’ can mean.
After that, experience the emotional power of Paul Stanhope’s groundbreaking and award-winning re-imagining of the Requiem mass, its ancient texts enriched with contemporary insights on love, loss, life and hope from poets including Emily Dickinson and Oodgeroo Noonuccal.
Commissioning music has been at the heart of the Sydney Chamber Choir’s music making since its earliest years, and it proud to be creating and sharing new masterpieces – a gift to its fans on its 50th birthday!
