Perth-based vocalists the Giovanni Consort celebrate 28 years of fine music with three mainstage concerts and gender equality in its programming.

This was a delightful concert despite challenging circumstances, one that showed the depth of repertoire by female composers in a gender-equal program.

Kate McNamara, Artistic Director of the WA chamber choir, discusses the repertoire in this concert, and addressing the gender imbalance in classical music.

There is an emphasis on West Australian talent and deep engagement with the community in the state opera company’s programming for next year.

West Australian choir’s 24-year wait proves well worth it.
