About the event
A world premiere that rings out around the globe! Commissioned by Luminescence Children’s Choir together with choirs in Perth, Estonia, and Belgium, Andrew Ford’s new Christmas cycle is one for our time. Accompanied by Melbourne sensation Theo Carbo (electric guitar), this major new work aims to bring joy to all the children singing it for the first time this year, and all the children who will Sing The Birth in years to come.
Before this milestone premiere, members of Luminescence Chamber Singers join Thomas Heywood (organ) Roland Peelman and Valdas Cameron (percussion) to sing of another miraculous birth, in Arvo Pärt's 'Sarah was 90 Years Old'.
I Sing The Birth is co-commissioned in collaboration with the Flanders Boys Choir, Estonian Girls’ TV and Radio Choir, and the Schola Cantorum of St Aquinas College. Supported by Helen Moore AM, and the APRA AMCOS Art Music Fund 2023. Tickets: $40-$60
