Tonight (Thursday) my choir has the first of a series of five performances entitled Northern Lights. The two major works are Frank Martin’s Mass for Double Choir and the first Australian performance of a new Rautavaara work, the Missa a Cappella. It has been co-commissioned by various groups/choirs in the Netherlands, the UK and Australia. The other two countries have had their premieres - now it’s our turn.
I think this evening’s concert is being recorded by the ABC for later broadcast. If so, I’ll provide details.
