Semester One 2024 - "Songbirds"

To kick off 2024, we featured Australian composers, with a stunning theme of native birds. 

We were delighted to present two new pieces in the form of Lazarus (Inge Dekker) and Stand Up (Christian Gante). 

Other featured works included perennial favourite She Walks in Beauty (Whitwell), contrasting with an alternative setting by Morgan England-Jones, and we reprised our previous premiere Why Fly So High (John Rotar). 

Inge and John were able to join us in the audience on concert day, and Morgan and Inge were kind enough to workshop their pieces with us during the semester. 

Guillaume Lemay-Yates was our conductor, and Christian Gante accompanied us from the piano. 

Choir member Mish Kwok drew the stunning bird artwork, and sticker packs are available on our shop.
