2012 Concert Programme
Bach with a Twist
Sunday 29 April 3:00 pm
St Mary’s Anglican Church, Kangaroo Point
Canticum Chamber Choir (Emily Cox, conductor) presents a kaleidoscope of music that ties together “then and now” – what inspired Bach, and what he passed on to our day. Two of Bach’s magnificent motets join with works from the renaissance (Palestrina) and the present day, including works by Queensland-born composer Joseph Twist and others.
Associate artists Christopher Wrench (organ) and Katherine Philp (cello) will join Canticum in the creative and atmospheric space of historic St Mary’s on the Cliffs at Kangaroo Point. Join the artists for refreshments overlooking the city after the concert, to cap off a memorable musical afternoon – Bach with a Twist.
