Description: 
What happens when a community is given space to tell its own story?
Proudly presented by the Canberra Choral Society, as part of the UPSTAGEING Canberra festival, Our Stories is an exciting choral event that places storytelling at the centre of choral music.
Directed by Dan Walker, CCS Music Director, featuring the CCS choir, Soprano Rachel Mink and Baritone Alasdair Stretch, and a string quartet and pianoforte, Our Stories is about lived experience. It brings together voices from across generations to explore memory, identity, belonging, and what it means to be heard.
Moving from stillness and reflection in Deep Peace through memory and familiarity in Fields of Gold, to He Never Expected Much, Luminous Night of the Soul, and Sure on this Shining Night, works resonant with humility, love, and the inner life. Our Stories is shaped by the idea that everyone carries a story worth sharing. Some joyful, some complex, some unfinished. Together, they form a rich portrait of our community, reflected in works such as Our First April, The Circle Game, and The Hope of Loving.
Celebrating wisdom, resilience, and the power of making art in life, Our Stories is about connection, about listening, about recognising ourselves in one another. It invites the audience to listen deeply and find something of their own story in the music.
