Bel a cappella at the Independent conducted by Anthony Pasquill<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An elite ensemble of sixteen singers from within one of Australia\u2019s finest a cappella vocal groups, Bel a cappella<\/em>, takes centre-stage this Sunday as part of the popular\u00a0Prelude in Tea series at North Sydney\u2019s Independent Theatre.<\/p>\n

Bel a consort <\/em>give their premiere performance of 2019 with Tom\u00e1s Luis de Victoria\u2019s Requiem<\/em>, written in 1603 and published in 1605. This masterpiece is one of a handful of large-scale works which enjoys mainstream appeal in the 21st century. For many, it represents what Renaissance polyphony is, what it sounds and feels like, and how expressive it can be. Motets by Clemens non Papa and Lobo will also feature.<\/p>\n

The newly formed Bel a consort <\/em>is a group of consort singers from within Bel a cappella <\/em>and their Artistic Director Anthony Pasquill.
\nDuring 2019, members of both ensembles will be performing works by James MacMillan, Gustav Mahler, Veljo Tormis, Arvo P\u00e4rt, Alfred Schnittke, Benjamin Britten, Imogen Holst, Cheryl Frances-Hoad and Alice Chance in concerts throughout Sydney.<\/p>\n

A Prelude in Tea <\/em>is a Sunday afternoon concert series featuring a scrumptious afternoon tea served from 2:30 followed by a 3:30 concert from some of Australia\u2019s best and most exciting small ensembles.<\/p>\n
