One of the undisputed masterpieces of the choral repertoire, it is exquisitely beautiful, and a poignant reflection on life.

Allow your spirit to soar on the delicate vocal harmonies and swelling strings. Donald Runnicles has devoted his life to the idea that music can be a healing, nurturing experience and you couldn’t wish for a better guide for this ethereal, contemplative work.

Two pieces by Debussy complete this program of evocative French music. Just as Monet injected new energy and vitality into French painting, Debussy discovered bold musical gestures and brilliant orchestral colours that made for mesmerising, dream-like experiences. 

Australian soprano Anna Dowsley and a female choir star in the sensual and decadent La Damoiselle élue, while that same choir transports you from gentle rolling clouds to festivities below and then to the ocean in the stunning Nocturnes. The immutable beauty of nature is drawn out of each note with unmatched nuance and subtlety.
