The Queensland Choir: Storm and Splendour
19 April @ 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm AEST

Experience the dramatic intensity and radiant beauty of two masterpieces of sacred music. Mozart’s Vesperae solennes de confessore (K.339) shimmers with elegance and devotion, while Haydn’s Missa in angustiis—known as the “Nelson Mass”—thunders with urgency and triumph. Together, these works capture the tension between human vulnerability and divine grandeur, offering a journey through stormy emotion and transcendent splendour.
