2027 PROGRAM
Join Bel a cappella in 2027 for three wonderful concerts exploring music from across the centuries. From moving reflections on war and peace to the mysteries of creation, dreams and the night sky, it's a season full of stunning music and exciting new discoveries.
On ANZAC Day, Bel a cappella presents a moving program of music reflecting on war, loss and remembrance. Heart-wrenching expressions of grief and darkness are balanced by beautiful moments of resilience, peace and hope, celebrating the enduring power of the human spirit through song.
In collaboration with Balmain Sinfonia, we explores the extraordinary musical world of Stravinsky and his fascination with Renaissance composer Gesualdo. Ancient and modern voices come together in a program exploring flight, creation and the mysteries of heaven, culminating in Stravinsky's magnificent Mass for choir and wind instruments.
We close the year with a beautiful program of Romantic and contemporary choral music exploring dreams, sleep and the mysteries of the night. Centred on Richard Strauss's Der Abend, the concert brings together lush harmonies and evocative poetry, weaving a magical musical journey through moonlight, stars, angels and the silence of the city.
“The singers of Sydney-based choir Bel a cappella are sterling representatives of the great tradition of music making in this country and their season opener demonstrated outstanding ambition and commitment to composers old and new, international and home-grown.”
