Latvian Radio Choir and Genevieve Lacey
About the event
The Latvian Radio Choir is not just a choir: it is a sound laboratory, its members always ready to explore new work and new ways of singing. Its repertoire encompasses music from the Renaissance to now.
Genevieve Lacey is a fearless artist who challenges people to rethink the recorder, the classical music concert experience and, indeed, how we listen.
Together these pioneering musicians present a program of music which looks to the sky in search of beauty, wonder and things with wings.
Join them as they look to the skies for dancing planets and soaring birds in the music of Pēteris Vasks. Get lost in the sheer beauty of Arvo Pärt’s Magnificat and listen to the world’s first singers in Hollis Taylor’s Bird on Byrd. Then experience an uplifting new commission from iconic Latvian composer, Ēriks Ešenvalds, setting the words of multi-award-winning Australian author and poet, Alexis Wright.
