The recently commissioned work “A Fragment of Sappho” is a setting of Fragment 16 by the poet Sappho.

Through her representation of the story of Helen of Troy and her beguiling beauty, Sappho reminds us all of love’s power and its ability to change destinies and fate itself.

The work is scored for S.A.T.B Choir, Oboe, French Horn, Harp, Piano and String Quartet.

The premiere of “A Fragment of Sappho” will take place in the Auditorium of Fort Street High School, Petersham on Sunday, 2nd May at 3pm.
