SUMMARY:Verdi Requiem
DESCRIPTION:Melbourne Bach Choir and Zelman Memorial Symphony Orchestra are proud to bring you the Verdi Requiem with a cast of four superb Australian soloists under the baton of Rick Prakhoff. \nSoprano Helena Dix recently made her New York Metropolitan Opera debut. Last November\, she sang the Verdi Requiem with London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall. Jacqueline Dark is a multiple Helpmann and Green Room Award-winning mezzo-soprano. Paul O’Neill has sung leading tenor roles throughout Australasia and Europe. In addition to his international and OA reputation\, bass baritone\, Adrian Tamburini is well-known to Zelman Symphony audiences\, having sung in Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 and Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 13\, Babi Yar. \nOften described as “Verdi’s greatest opera”\, his Requiem is an expansive yet tightly knit masterpiece of monumental drama and intense emotion.

SUMMARY:Fauré Requiem and works by Debussy\, Ravel\, Saint Saëns and Fauré
DESCRIPTION:This concert combines Fauré’s sublime Requiem\, one of the best-loved of all choral works\, with shorter secular pieces from the French repertoire.\nDebussy’s sensitive settings of 15th century poems by Charles d’Orleans contrast with Ravel’s exquisite Trois Chansons\, where both the composer’s own texts and music are full of archaic references. Fauré’s witty Madrigal and a selection of Saint-Saëns’ expressive songs complete the program.\nRick Prakhoff conducts the Melbourne Bach Choir and Orchestra\, with soloists Emilia Bertolini\, soprano\, and Jeremy Kleeman bass-baritone. \nThis concert program will also be performed on Sunday 30 June 2019 at 2.30pm\, at Ballarat Central Uniting Church\, 103 Lydiard St S\, Ballarat Central Tickets at www.trybooking.com/BBRBK

SUMMARY:Good Friday Concert - Brahms and Szymanowski
DESCRIPTION:Melbourne Bach Choir and Orchestra continue their tradition of Good Friday concerts with this imaginative program\, featuring an outstanding cast of soloists. \nFollowing the success of Opera Australia’s recent production of King Roger by Polish composer Karol Szymanowski\, his rarely performed Stabat Mater is paired with the much loved German Requiem by Johannes Brahms. \nThe six short movements of Szymanowski’s expressive masterpiece invoke Polish folk elements and echoes of early counterpoint\, in a highly personal setting. Brahms’ choice of text for the Requiem was also individualistic\, focussing on a more humanist rather than overtly Christian take on the concept of the end of life\, in this deeply felt and dramatic work. \nThe Melbourne Bach Choir and orchestra\, conducted by Rick Prakhoff\, are joined by renowned soloists Lorina Gore\, soprano; Belinda Paterson\, mezzo-soprano; and Warwick Fyfe\, baritone.

DESCRIPTION:J.S. Bach’s Passion—a masterpiece for Good Friday.\nAfter their extraordinary 2016 concert\, Melbourne Bach Choir return to Elisabeth Murdoch Hall this Good Friday for another spellbinding performance of Bach’s St John Passion. \nMelbourne Bach Choir are joined by Andrew Goodwin (Evangelist) and Warwick Fyfe (Jesus)\, soprano Lorina Gore\, mezzo-soprano Dominica Matthews\, tenor Henry Choo and bass-baritone Jeremy Kleeman completing a stellar group of Australian soloists.
