A GLIMPSE OF THE SUBLIME
Join The Latvian Radio Choir and Genevieve Lacey 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.
