About the concert
An amazing feast of new and hitherto unpublished Australian
choral works.A dazzling display of Australias most promising
and renowned composers,including Dan Walker, Perry Joyce, Joseph
Twist and Iain Grandage, the chosen works are a reflection on the
beauty and diversity of Australian landscapes and experiences.
Highlight of the concert is the world premier of a specially
commissioned composition by Matthew Orlovich for a Capella
choir entitled My Nurse and I. The text of this vibrant piece
is a poem by contemporary Australian poet Nicolette Stasko; a poem
inspired by and based upon a 1937 painting by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.
In the second half, Concordis joins forces with Pro Musica Orchestra
to perform selections from Nicholas Buc's new Mass celebrating the life of
Mary MacKillop, conducted by the composer himself.
