Sydney Chamber Choir Presents Connections
September 28 @ 3:00 pm
Sydney Chamber Choir presents Connections, celebrating the rich diversity of human wisdom as they explore the great traditions of sacred and secular music, reflected and refracted through time and place.
Under the batons of three of their presents and former Artistic Directors, Sam Allchurch, Nicholas Routley and Paul Stanhope, the choir embraces the passionate solemnity of the Renaissance, the transcendent beauty of the Baltic composers, alongside intensely dramatic Australian works as Aija Draguns brings her Latvian musical heritage to a First Nations prayer of thanksgiving in Dawn of Creation, Clare Maclean and Joe Twist capture the infinite grandeur of creation in Et misericordia and Sunrise on the Coast, Meta Cohen and Harry Sdraulig encourage us to look to the skies in Meteora and Evening Star, and Nigel Butterley proves that there is nothing as joyful as a choir in Surrexit Dominus from The True Samaritan.
Travel with the Sydney Chamber Choir across centuries and continents, guided by the musical directors who have shaped the choir from its beginning to the present day – and beyond!
