About

Sydney Chamber Choir is a leading force in Australian choral music, known equally for its acclaimed performances of Renaissance and Baroque music and its adventurous support for new Australian works. Joining it in this celebratory concert is The University of Newcastle Chamber Choir, inaugural ABC Classic FM Choir of the Year Adult Choir winner in 2006 and well-known for its international touring and recordings. The choirs will perform separately and as a combined ensemble in a superb program that explores connections between music new and old, featuring Thomas Tallis’s great 40-part motet Spem in Alium and Gregorio Allegri’s Miserere written for private performances in the Sistine Chapel.
