Sydney Philharmonia Choirs Present

ChorusOz - Celebrating Ten Years

7 June 2015, 5 P.M.  Sunday




Year 2015 marks 10 years of Sydney Philharmonia Choirs's  ChorusOz, planned to be a spectacular event with a program featuring excerpts from every performance since its inception in 2004, founded by Brett Weymark, SPC's dynamic and charismatic music director. It is a chorus made up of SPC choristers and other singers from all over the world who assemble for the June holiday weekend to perform at the Sydney Opera House with a professional orchestra and soloists.

This 10th anniversary celebration is a chance for choristers to revisit favourite choral works and experience again (or for the very first time!) singing some of the most well-loved pieces from the choral repertoire.

• Orff's Carmina Burana: O Fortuna
  
• Handel's Zadok the Priest
  
• Mozart's Requiem:  Introitus, Dies Irae, Recordae, Confutatis, Lacrimosa
  
• Rachmaninoff's All Night Vigil: Bogoroditse Devo
  
• Haydn's The Creation: In Splendour Bright, The Heavens are Telling

• Sculthorpe's Requiem: Canticle
  
• Verdi's  Missa da Requiem: Libera Me

Below is a video of ChorusOz 2015 singers with a performance of Carl Orff's "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana and Handel's rousing "Hallelujah Chorus" from Messiah. The impromptu performance was done at the Sydney Opera House forecourt prior formal concert at the SOH's Concert Hall.
