The human voice is an instrument that connects us all. Hear it sing through two radiant pieces of music from England’s beloved choral composer John Rutter. His 1970s Gloria begins with a surprisingly high-energy fanfare, and his Hymn projects sacred traditions into our modern era. MSO Chorus and musicians will perform these elevating works in the Melbourne Recital Centre, led by conductor Warren Trevelyan-Jones.

Dan Walker’s Mass of Deliverance brings a local voice to our contemporary choral program. Walker’s music is filled with hypnotic moments that chime with magic and majesty. It pays direct homage to Rutter’s Gloria, particularly through the choice of instruments, and was designed to uplift.
