The Brisbane Chamber Choir are delighted to be involved in the Brisbane Contemporary Church Music Festival, in its capacity as the St John’s Cathedral Chamber Choir. This five day festival explores the voices of contemporary composers, and the Chamber Choir will be taking part in two very special events, including a premiere concert. Festival Evensong 7.00pm Wednesday 17 August Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis by American theatre composer Conrad Susa Introit: Dum medium silentium by Vytautas Miskinis Anthem: Surrexit Christus by Tarik O’Regan Preces and Responses by Kenneth Leighton Sermon: The Very Rev Dr. John Shepherd, Dean of Perth Postlude: Psalm Prelude set 2 no. 2 "Yea the darkness is no darkness with Thee" Howells Talking of Angels (Music for choir and cello) A concert performed by the Cathedral Chamber Choir. 6.00pm Saturday 20 August Will Todd – Angel Song II Paul Dean – Lux aeterna Vytautas Miškinis - Dum medium silentium Paul Stanhope – Lux aeterna Tarik O’Regan – Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis (with cello) INTERVAL Samuel Barber – Agnus Dei Michael Knopf – Be silent and know Pablo Casals – O vos omnes Andrew Schultz – Magnificat Eleanor Daley – Ave maris stella This concert will be performed from the West Door of the Cathedral - in "reverse mode". If you've not been to a concert performed in this manner, then you'll be in for a real treat! The performance is much more intimate in the vast space that is St John's Cathedral, plus the glorious acoustics at the West Door enhances the Choir's sound - which is perfect for the concert programme! The concert features two premieres of works by Brisbane Composers – Paul Dean (Choir Patron) and Michael Knopf – and we are delighted that they will be attending the concert. Other highlights include works by Australian composers Paul Stanhope and Andrew Schultz, and Will Todd’s Among Angels, written for choir and two harps, which is very much in the style of his work Angel Song II, the title track of our last CD. Tickets available at the door Admission $20, Concession $15 We look forward to seeing you at these performances, and others during the Brisbane Contemporary Church Music Festival.
