Dr Richard Marlow, internationally acclaimed choral conductor and former Director of Music at Trinity College, Cambridge, joined us in Brisbane for a week of workshops. This amazing experience culminated in a concert conducted by Dr Marlow on Saturday March 19, 2011.

Works performed included motets by JS and JL Bach, Howell's Requiem and Take Him, Earth, for Cherishing, and Victoria's Missa O Magnum Mysterium, as well as short works by Marlow, Myskinis and O'Regan.

Thanks to all who supported us! We hoped you enjoyed the concert!

Fantasias of Purcell began the concert followed by the splendour of La Pellegrina, excerpts from the lavish spectacle first performed in Florence in 1589 for the marriage of Ferdinando de' Medici Grand Duke of Tuscany to Christine de Lorraine. This was composed primarily by court composers Christofano Malvezzi and Luca Marenzio.

The music of the modern world was performed on modern instruments. Five Hebrew Love Songs by Eric Whitacre, Pater Noster by Peteris Vasks and the glorious sounds of the turn of the century music of Vienna with two songs by A. Zemlinksy, Geheimnis and Frülingsglaube.
