We invite you to experience the exquisite emotional highs and lows of the incredible works of Joseph Haydn, Vaughan Williams and Andrew Schultz in a program that communicates that which brings out the best and worst of the human race.

From the ominous use of solo drums in the Mass in time of War ‘Agnus Dei’ to the deeply moving plea for peace in Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem, The Sydney Philharmonia Symphony Chorus will guide you through an outstanding evening of music which will also feature Beach Burial - a new work by the visionary award winning composer Andrew Schultz, lead by as always our extraordinary Artistic Director, Brett Weymark.
