“HEAVENLY BAROQUE”
Heavely Baroque music awaits you in this concert featuring the iconic and ever popular “Gloria” by Antonio Vivaldi and the extraordinary “Missa Dei Patris” by the great Bohemain composer, Jan Dismas Zelenka, whose stature as one of the greatest and unique composers of the Baroque period increases as time passes. The great J.S Bach was an ardent admirer of this enigmatic composer whose adventurous and eclectic music leads the listener into an astonishing sound world.
This concert is dedicated to the late Dame Marie Bashir, the much loved former patron of the choir, Governor of New South Wales and Chancellor of the University of Sydney.
