29 APRIL – 11 MAY
The most intoxicating performance of the year

Featuring the joyous Handel Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah with 100 voices combined from the Brandenburg Choir and Brandenburg Young Voices.The concert concludes with the breathtaking Mozart Requiem Mass in D minor K.626 with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra and Brandenburg Choir.

“At first there is nothing.
Not an in breath. Not an out breath.

Just silence.

Then it starts. Fast and unrelenting.
Booming and consuming. Uplifting and shifting.
It bursts out of you and fills every inch of you.

Then it stops.

Now it’s slow. Graceful.
It rises up and down. Over you and through you.
A sadness. A nostalgia.

You can’t place it.

But you feel it.”
