Here’s something fun to consider while we hunker

Here’s something fun to consider while we hunker down at home. Our friends at the Collegiate of Specialist Music Educators are looking for choral singers to participate in the 29th Annual Sing Out 2021!
This amazing choral concert (the first Sing Out was in 1993, but the tradition goes way back to 1939!) raised critical funds for the Music Therapy Department at Westmead’s Children’s Hospital, directly helping children living with cancer and other illnesses.

The Sing Out concert will be on Sunday 17th October 2021 at the Sydney Town Hall. Learning Day 1 is on the 25th July.

Friends, unfortunately because of the current COVI

Friends, unfortunately because of the current COVID-19 circumstances and lockdown restrictions we have had to postpone Sing On! A Choral Celebration from Saturday 24 July to a new date later in the year at the Sydney Town Hall: Sunday 21 November at 3pm. Disappointing yes, but we're sure you appreciate why we have had to do this for everyone's safety.

If you hold tickets for Sing On! we have transferred your booking to the new date (Sunday 21 November, 3pm) and will issue new e-tickets. If you cannot make the new date, please email us at hello@sydneyphilharmonia.com.au and we will discuss your options.

Let us know by Friday 30 July. Stay well and warm and let's look forward to enjoying live music together soon.

Congratulations to our Artistic and Music Director

Congratulations to our Artistic and Music Director Brett Weymark who has been awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours List ‘for services to the performing arts through music’.

“I am incredibly honoured and humbled to receive this award. I feel very lucky that I have been given the opportunity to work in such an important industry as the Arts which on a daily basis contributes to Australia being more compassionate and culturally diverse place. Music has the ability to change lives and as such, I see this award as something that will spur me on to work even harder to create spaces where people can sing and express their creativity,” said Brett.

Brett has been Sydney Philharmonia Choirs’ Artistic and Music Director since 2003. In 2001, he was awarded an Australian Centenary Medal for services to Australian society and the advancement of music. Under his direction, SPC was awarded a 2010 Helpmann Award for its part in Stravinsky’s Oedipus Rex and Symphony of Psalms directed by Peter Sellars.

How fantastic was Carmina Burana last Saturday! We

How fantastic was Carmina Burana last Saturday! We were thrilled to receive some high praise and 4 stars from Limelight Magazine and the SMH.
Check out some of the gallery snaps by robertcatto

“This performance by Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, with NSW Public Schools Junior Singers, under the baton of Brett Weymark, was no exception, bringing the packed Sydney Town Hall audience to its feet.” - Limelight

“This was a magnificent performance by Mills and the stars of the day, the massed voices of the SPC.” - Limelight

“Stealing the show, however, was a dark tour-de-force by tenor Kanen Breen in a jaded cross-dressing cabaret on Olim lacus colueram, which recalled the work’s uncomfortable Weimar Republic origins.” - Sydney Morning Herald

“The return of the opening ‘O Fortuna’ bars made a triumphant finale, bringing the capacity audience to its feet for a long, standing ovation.” - J-Wire

Our next upcoming concert is Sing On! A Choral Celebration - tickets in our bio 🎼

What a triumph Saturday’s Berliner Messe concert

What a triumph Saturday’s Berliner Messe concerts were. The reviews are in.

Limelight : “…[VOX] gave voice to Pärt’s music as one, building monumental blocks of sound as solid and impermeable as the great pillars of rough-hewn sandstone surrounding them in St Andrew’s Cathedral. This, against the transparent layers of sound from the string ensemble, coalesced into a rich outpouring of faith.” Harriet Cunningham

Sydney Arts Guide: “The Vox young adult choir seemed flawless and disciplined throughout this complex diverse program.” Geoffrey Sykes

JWire: “The 340 Covid-capacity audience had been treated to first class performance.” Fraser Beath McEwing

Sydney Morning Herald: “…Vox cut through…with purity of sound, clarity of articulation and precision of pitch” Peter McCallum

Don’t take their word for it. Experience our next concerts for yourself this Easter weekend – St John’s Passion Reimagined – at The Concourse, Chatswood | 1pm & 7pm | Sat Apr 3. Tickets through the link in our bio!
