Good Friday Musical Meditation - cancelled due to Covid
Friday 10 April, 5.30pm
Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 369 Given Terrace, Rosalie
$35 / $25 concession / under 16 free
Tickets available at the door or through Trybooking.
Canticum’s Good Friday Musical Meditation has become a much-anticipated event in Brisbane’s musical calendar. In this year’s concert, repertoire from the Baroque to the present day captures the emotion of the occasion. Music by Zelenka, often dubbed the ‘Czech Bach’, contrasts modern works by Catalan composer Pablo Casals, Poland’s Paweł Łukaszewski, and England’s Herbert Howells. Central to the concert is Bach’s motet for double choir Komm, Jesu komm. This music, heard in the stunning acoustic of Sacred Heart Rosalie, makes for an unmissable event.

St Mary's Anglican Church, Main Street, Kangaroo Point
$35 / $25 concession / under 16 free

Canticum performs radiant music on a theme of the diverse natural world, a source of inspiration for poets and composers throughout time. A stunning programme of a cappella music by noted voices of the 20th and 21st century will feature Vaughan Williams' evocative Silence and Music. Works by Lauridsen (including Sure on this Shining Night), Tormis (Autumn Landscapes), MacMillan (O Radiant Dawn), Pärt (I am the true vine) and others will complete this sumptuous array of music.
Should the COVID-19 restrictions permit this concert to go ahead, it will take place at historic St Mary's Anglican Church, Kangaroo Point. This differs from the original venue printed in our 2020 season brochure. We apologise for any inconvenience or confusion.

Christmas Oratorio - JS Bach (selected movements) - changed venue and times
Saturday 12 December, 7.30pm
Sunday 13 December, 3.00pm
Kelvin Grove State College, senior school hall
Tickets available through Trybooking only
Canticum presents a contemporary interpretation of Bach’s immortal Christmas Oratorio, framing the Holy Family as seeking refuge from tyranny. Bach’s glorious music will be given a new dimension in this semi-staged performance in the spacious and versatile Senior School Hall at Kelvin Grove. Comprising two repeat performances, this production, stage directed by Anatoly Frusin, will give audiences an opportunity to be inspired and moved by this new work, which has at its core the timeless music of J. S. Bach.
