The Bold and the Beautiful
75 Reid St., North Fitzroy.
Drawing upon composers from the 16th to the 21st centuries, The Bold and the Beautiful explored choral expressions of religious exaltation, the boldness of romance, and the beauty of nature and the heavens. The ethereal sound of the glass harp accompaniment to Érik Ešenvald’s “Stars” raised goosebumps, and contrasted with the richness of the 5-7 part settings of other works.
