Dear Parents and Caregivers
Experience the Choir of St Paul’s College—praised for its “faultless performances” and “exquisite musical beauty” (Canberra CityNews)—in a presentation of Eric Whitacre’s deeply moving work, The Sacred Veil. Following their win at the 2024 International Christian Choir Competition and successful international tour, the Choir brings this contemporary choral masterpiece on Saturday 17 May at 3pm in the Cranbrook School Chapel.
Composed in collaboration with poet Charles Anthony Silvestri, The Sacred Veil is a meditation on love, loss and the fragility of life. The Choir will be joined by pianist Anthony Chen, and Sydney Symphony cellist Christopher Pidcock. Don’t miss this powerful musical experience from one of Australia’s leading choirs.
