Camerata & One Equal Music: Celestial Choral Baroque (Brisbane)

Strings and choir unite! In an otherworldly collaboration with one of Australia’s newest choirs, expect to be uplifted with this achingly beautiful music, both old and new. This otherworldly collaboration sees strings and choir unite with one of Australia’s newest choirs, based right here in Brisbane! One Equal Music joins Camerata for this ethereal, spine-tingling concert of music that is both thrilling and achingly beautiful. Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo’s ethereal The Spheres sets the tone for the emotional power of the music that follows. That music includes the majestic orchestral suite by Classical music’s greatest hero, Bach, and later in the program one of his own inspirations, Vivaldi, in the iconic Gloria. What better way to make music than a plea for peace as you’ll hear in Peteris Vask’s Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant Us Peace), and a particularly striking moment will surely be in Erik Esenvalds’ Stars, that puts voices together with glass harmonics. This beautiful concert will be very special and a wonderful way to round out Camerata’s 2025 season! As always, join Camerata in the foyer after the concert to meet the musicians and have a chat.
