We begin our 2022 season with a celebration of big music in an intimate space. With music for full ACS ensemble, from Lassus’ glorious Musica Dei Donum Optimi (Music, gift of the Gods) and Claudio Monteverdi’s Cantate Domino (Sing to the Lord) to Robert Pearsall’s poignant Lay a Garland, and the spiky Love Lost vignettes by Paul Sjolund, plus music for smaller ensembles.

Join us in the candle-laden surrounds of Chateau Apollo, where we sing contemporary, folk, madrigals and part-songs from hearth and home, with sighs, tears and cheers.

Sun Dogs, by Eriks Esenvalds, the core work for this program, depicts how we perceive images through a myriad of lenses. Through the eyes of the artists, we see things anew, and musically we traverse the globe.

Featuring Samuel Barber’s Agnus Dei and dazzling Antipodean compositions: Legato of After Rain by Paul Stanhope, Claire Maclean’s Et Misericordia, and the first ensemble performance of Afterword by Anne Cawrse.

Program 4. Morning Star

A message from ACS, Tuesday 22 November 2022: Sadly a number of key members of our artistic team have tested positive to COVID, and we have made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel our performances of ‘Morning Star’ this weekend.

Ticket holders are in the process of being contacted with their refund options. We appreciate your patience.

ACS’ 2023 Concert Season will be released early next year, and we look forward to singing for you again very soon!

P.S. You can still hear us once more this year in our performances of Handel’s Messiah with Erin Helyard and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, December 16–18. Tickets are available via the ASO website.
