Heavenly Harmony

Perth Symphonic Chorus presents a program of exquisite choral music, sublime harmonies and soaring melodies designed to soothe and delight music lovers.

The program features Sir John Rutter's The Gift Of Life, a beautiful choral cycle, with six movements exploring the miracles of creation.

Other works in the concert include Brahms' Geistliches Lied (Sacred Song) set to text by Paul Flemming's Let nothing afflict you with grief; be calm! why worry today about tomorrow? and There Will Be Rest by the American composer Frank Ticheli, set to a poignant poem of the same name by Sara Teasdale (1933).

The choir will also be singing a new arrangement of art songs by the English composer Ivor Gurney titled Five Elizabethan Songs (1914): Spring, Under the Greenwood Tree, Tears, Orpheus, and Sleep.
