Works include: Britten Hymn to St. Cecilia and Holst Hymns from the Rig Veda.
This concert features two stunning pieces of music from the UK. Britten's masterpiece is a cornerstone of the choral repertoire. His depiction of the life and nature of this extraorginary woman demonstrates the wondrous variety of colour of the human voice set perfectly to the words by W H Auden.
Holst's collection of four pieces for Harp and upper voices shows this composer at his best. Don't miss the opportunity to hear this wonderful work accompanied by Australia's most acclaimed harpist, Marshall McGuire.
