SUMMARY:Sydney Chamber Choir Cantos Sagrados
DESCRIPTION:Sydney Chamber Choir’s Cantos Sagrados brings together three powerful 20th- and 21st-century masterworks for choir and organ that explore the human and the divine through poetry\, faith and song. \nConducted by Sam Allchurch\, the choir is joined by baritone David Greco and organist Thomas Wilson\, performing music by three legendary British composers. \nThere are two concerts\, one in Sydney on Saturday 14 November at 5pm at St James’ Church\, King Street\, Sydney\, and the other on Sunday\, 8 November at 3pm at St Finbar’s Church\, Glenbrook. \nBenjamin Britten’s Rejoice in the Lamb is both joyful and deeply moving – a portrait of faith and imagination forged in adversity. Setting Christopher Smart’s visionary verses\, written during his confinement in an asylum\, Britten captures the poet’s struggle and wonder in music that shimmers with tenderness\, wit and transcendence. \nScottish composer James MacMillan’s Cantos Sagrados (Sacred Songs) interweaves Latin liturgical texts with contemporary Latin American poetry confronting oppression and injustice. The result is music of searing intensity and compassion\, uniting sacred devotion with 
 a cry for human dignity. \nCompleting the program is Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Five Mystical Songs\, in which the radiant poetry of George Herbert finds eloquent expression in Vaughan Williams’ glowing harmonies and soaring melodies. The work features acclaimed baritone David Greco\, whose expressive artistry brings warmth and depth to these beloved songs. \nTickets \n  \n
