Concert 2:
A celebration of light, darkness and the shifting skies above us, Sun, Moon and Stars traces a radiant choral arc from dawn to dusk and back again. With works exploring love, loss, longing and the turning of the earth, this evocative program features music inspired by the solstice, the sun and the Australian landscape and brings together Australian and international voices in a shimmering homage to the heavens.
