About the event
The concert, entitled Mass in Time of War invites the audience to meditate on the current global conflict, as music from the Middle Ages to the 20th Century captures all the colours and emotions of war - the horror, the noble deeds and the eventual victory and hopeful peace. Audiences will experience and enjoy a traditional folk song of the Middle Ages, choral music by Josquin de Pres, considered to be the greatest composer of the renaissance, Joseph Haydn, the most celebrated and innovative composer of the 18th century, Karl Jenkins, a contemporary and prolific Welsh composer and musician working in the diverse fields of jazz, rock and classical music, and Matt Ottley, an award-winning contemporary artist, author and composer living in Northern NSW. The choir’s Pianist will also give a stunning recital of music written by Sergei Prokofiev, one of the major composers of the 20th century.
