Canticum Chamber Choir and Orchestra, with conductor Emily Cox AM, and soloists present the Australian premiere of a brand new choral work by Swedish composer Fredrik Sixten in our annual "Music for Holy Week" series.
The Stabat Mater portrays Mary at the foot of the cross experiencing her son's crucifixion - an extraordinary depiction of a mother’s suffering. Sixten, acclaimed world-wide as a truly significant composer of our time, creates a pathos-filled setting, masterfully balancing melody, dissonance and expressivity to produce a powerful, moving work. Canticum is proud to present this outstanding new contribution to contemporary sacred music for the first time in Australia.
