We are looking forward to presenting this program in Wollongong on OCT 31 and Annandale on NOV 1

Sacred soundscapes that look to the heavens — Beyond the Stars features Josef Rheinberger’s luminous Mass for Double Choir, paired with the transcendent anthems of William H. Harris and a rich selection of a cappella works exploring themes of eternity, remembrance and the soul’s journey beyond. With music by Britten, Parry, MacDonald, Grieg and more, this program offers a moving reflection on the celestial and the sacred, timed to coincide with All Souls Day.
