Voyage of Voices

Choral Singing / Sydney Philharmonia Choirs 


In a globe-spanning collaboration, Sydney Philharmonia - VOX and Estonia’s E Stuudio Youth Choir celebrate the rich vocal music of our countries. The young voices of Sydney’s VOX choir are a product of Australia’s bold musical culture – and its great choral music. VOX performs new Australian music by leading composers such as Ross Edwards, Paul Stanhope and Dan Walker inspired by Australia’s unique environment. E Stuudio Choir will showcase the spiritually-inclined music of their homeland. Finally, the two choirs join forces to stunning effect in a meeting of north and south.

On the face of it, the tiny Baltic state of Estonia and the vast continent of Australia couldn't be more different, or distant. But there's at least one thing that unites us: the vibrancy of our musical traditions.

Featuring works by Arvo Pärt, Eric Whitacre, Ola Gjeilo, Dan Walker and Paul Stanhope.
