Event Details
The final of our three 'Gifts' explores the fragrance frankincense, which along with myrrh was considered more valuable than gold in ancient times. The concert will feature the music of Arvo Pärt, including his astonishing musical portrayal of the Shroud of Turin, La Sindone (the Shroud). Elena Kats-Chernin’s Mater and the premiere of Peter Sculthorpe’s Kyrie for cello and strings will make fitting companions for the vocal and instrumental works of Arvo Pärt - the man Peter Sculthorpe calls the 'world’s greatest living composer'.
Performers include: The Song Company and Canberra Camerata with Anna McMichael (violin), Paul Wright (violin), Graeme Jennings (viola), Toy Fromyhr (viola), David Pereira (cello), Max McBride (bass), Catherine McCorkill (clarinet), Warwick Tyrrell (trombone), John Foster (trumpet), ANU School of Music Chamber Orchestra, DRUMatriX.
