2026 PROGRAM
Bel a cappella’s 2026 season celebrates connection and contrast through regional collaborations, mini-tours and three Sydney concerts - from sacred and secular works in Orange and Annandale, to solstice-inspired song and a celestial finale. Music by Parry, Purcell, MacDonald, Mäntyjärvi, Brinsmead, Britten and more spans earth and sky in radiant harmony.
A luminous collaboration between Bel a cappella and Orange Regional Conservatorium Chamber Choir. Sacred meets secular in a kaleidoscope of choral colour, from Parry and Purcell to Sting and Mäntyjärvi, over two consecutive weekends.
Orange: Sunday 19 April, 2.30pm
A celebration of the solstice: Journey from dawn to dusk and back again in this radiant program of celestial choral works, featuring Australian voices and Romantic stargazers alike.
Sacred soundscapes that look to the heavens, from Rheinberger’s double-choir Mass to Britten, Butterley and visions of eternity on the eve of All Souls Day.
Additional concert
Wollongong: Saturday 31 October, 2.30pm
“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.”
