Celebrate the beauty and the thrill of new music, as we give the world premiere performances of five pieces specially commissioned by Sydney Chamber Choir from five of the most exciting compositional talents in the country, each exploring a different facet of what love can mean. 

And then 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.

Sydney Chamber Choir, celebrating its 50th year of championing the creation and performance of new Australian music, is joined for this gala concert by soprano and tenor soloists and an ensemble featuring some of Australia’s finest chamber musicians.
