The Giovanni Consort presents Path of Miracles

Wednesday 26th November 2014, 7:30pm
Government House Ballroom, St George's Terrace, Perth

The Giovanni Consort: Path of Miracles

Perth's own Kristin Bowtell makes his conducting debut with The Giovanni Consort in the ensemble's final subscription concert for 2014. An expanded Consort will present the Australian premiere of British composer Joby Talbot's Path of Miracles, an epic four-movement work in 17 different vocal parts based on the Roman Catholic Pilgrimage to Santiago. This piece was commissioned in 20o4 by the British choir Tenebrae but it's only been performed a handful of times worldwide since, due to its substantial length and incredibly vocally demanding nature. 

The Ballroom of Government House is the perfect venue in which to present this masterpiece of the 21st century, a space that allows the singers to surround the audience and 'travel' as they sing. Be sure to purchase your tickets to avoid disappointment, for what will be a very special concert. 



Adults $30  |  Concession $25  |  Students $15

The Giovanni Consort presents War & Peace

Friday 12th September 2014, 7:30pm
Church of the Resurrection - 105 Shenton Road, Swanbourne 6010

The Giovanni Consort: War & Peace
The Giovanni Consort's Artistic Director, Lucien Fischer, conducts the Consort's third concert at Swanbourne's Church of the Resurrection, commemorating the hundredth anniversary of the outbreak of World War One. 

Using Janequin's La Guerre and Francisco Guerrero's Missa de la Batalla Escoutez as a framework, this concert will explore repertoire that deals with themes of conflict and loss, and peace and resolution, including Edward Elgar's Lux Aeterna, Edwards' Anthem for Remembrance, Robert Pearsall's Lay a Garland, and Herbert Howells' Take him, earth, for cherishing.

The stunning acoustics of the Church of the Resurrection, Swanbourne, lend perfectly to this repertoire. Tickets are strictly limited in this small but beautiful space, so we advise booking ahead of time via TryBooking to avoid disappointment.

Adults $30  |  Concession $25  |  Students $15
