    Description: MacMillan's Stabat Mater
    Sydney Philharmonia Choirs' Chamber Singers and strings unite in an impassioned evocation of Mary’s grief at the foot of the cross.

    This concert promises a cathartic experience, tapping into music’s power to communicate heartfelt emotion, from the fervent expression of joy to intense sorrow. James MacMillan’s Stabat Mater offers a fiercely impassioned evocation of Mary’s grief at the foot of the cross. And music by Arvo Pärt and three Australians reflects the inspirational vision of religious faith. The virtuoso voices of SPC's Chamber Singers shine in this intimate but powerful program of music inspired by faith and human experience.
