Sydney Children's Choir CITY RECITAL HALL & GONDWANA CHOIRS PRESENT SYDNEY CHILDREN’S CHOIR LYN WILLIAMS OAM, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Silent Night Chapel © TVB Oberndorf GREETINGS Astrid Mulholland-Licht Director Austrian National Tourist Office, Australia Salzburg is synonymous with music, be it as birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart or as the gorgeous location of the movie-classic “The Sound of Music”. But did you know that the world’s most famous Christmas Carol also comes from the region of Salzburg? On 24 December 1818, Joseph Mohr and Franz Xaver Gruber performed the song “Silent Night” for the first time, during Christmas Mass in a little chapel located in the village of Oberndorf near the city of Salzburg. The poem was written by Mohr, a young pastor from Salzburg, and the melody was composed by the teacher and organist Gruber from Upper Austria. Two hundred years later, the song is sung by around two billion people in over 300 languages and dialects around the world. “Silent Night” is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage and world peace song, international cultural asset and musical legacy. Not many people know that the origins of this Christmas song can be found in SalzburgerLand, that Franz Xaver Gruber was born and raised in Upper Austria and that the song spread to the world via Tirol in our country’s west. The three Austrian provinces represent a paradise for Advent and winter enthusiasts. Guests from all over the world can enjoy an authentic holiday experience in the footsteps of “Silent Night” with special exhibitions, romantic Christmas markets, which usually open their doors on the last weekend in November, and numerous other events. One of the most beautiful traditions is the so-called “Adventsingen”, where choirs come together during the Advent period (the four weeks before Christmas) to celebrate the season with festive concerts singing carols and folk music. We are delighted to continue our collaboration with Gondwana Choirs to celebrate 200 years of Silent Night, the carol that has been reaffirming people’s hope for peace in the world. Voices of Angels brings the Land of Silent Night to Sydney this evening. Thank you to Lyn Williams and Gondwana Choirs for staging an “Adventsingen” in true Austrian spirit on this occasion. I sincerely hope it will inspire you to visit my home country one day. Tonight please come and visit us in the Foyer of the City Recital Hall to picture yourself in the snowy “Heart of Europe”. Chat to us about Austrian Winter and some of its traditions. Find out how we celebrate Christmas and help us open our Advent Calendar. Best wishes for the festive season and “Frohe Weihnachten” (Merry Christmas). ABOUT THE MUSIC Lyn Williams OAM, Artistic Director Each year it is a new and delicious challenge to devise a program which captures the familiar warmth and generosity of the season yet is still able to surprise and delight the Voices of Angels veterans amongst you. 2018 marks the 200th anniversary of the composition of what must surely be the world’s most loved Christmas carol; Stille Nacht, or Silent Night. The first half of our program takes us to Austria, the land of Silent Night. Who amongst us has not dreamt of one day experiencing a perfect white Christmas? Setting the scene with our Young Men’s Choir singing the celebrated carol, we will move on to a rare and delightful work by the Austrian composer Franz Xaver Süssmayr. Das Namensfest (Grandfather’s Nameday Celebration), an occasional play for children soloists, children’s choir and orchestra in one act. Süssmayr was a pupil of Mozart and is most well know today for finishing Mozart’s Requiem following his death. Das Namensfest was composed in 1799 for the Nameday of Freiherr von Lang and was to be performed by his clearly exceptionally talented grandchildren. This work holds a special place in my heart as it was the first major work for children’s choir that I ever conducted well before the Sydney Children’s Choir existed. Centered around a large Austrian singing family, I like to picture this work as the eighteenth-century version of the Sound of Music. Tonight’s performance features soloists from the Junior and Senior Performing Choirs as well as our guest soloist and ex-chorister, Alexandra Oomens. It is a true pleasure to invite Alex to perform and she wil delight you with Mozart’s virtuosic concert aria, Exsultate jubilate. Before interval, the rich voices of the Young Men’s Choir will delight us with further carols from the German tradition in new arrangements by Owen Elsley. Works composed specifically for children’s choirs before 1800 are extremely rare. Following the interval, the Senior Choir is delighted to be able to bring you a second such work. Niccola Porpora’s Magnificat was composed fifty years earlier than the Süssmayer. Whereas the Süssmayer was quintessentially Classical in style, Porpora’s Magnificat is clearly a work of the Baroque tradition with complex interweaving choral lines. Porpora, like his better known contemporary Antonio Vivaldi, was employed as a teacher in one of the four famous Venetian orphanages (Ospedali) where girls were trained to an extremely high musical level. They were renowned throughout Europe for their performances, both as singers and instrumentalists. The Magnificat received its first performance in the Ospedali degli Incurabili. So that you will leave Voices of Angels full of festive cheer, we will of course enjoy a good dose of old favourites for you to sing and enjoy. Thank you to the Austrian National Tourist office for inspiring and supporting this program.

  • Mohawk Valley Irish Cultural
    MOHAWK VALLEY IRISH CULTURAL Volume 14, Issue 6 EVENTS NEWSLETTER June 2017 Celebrate Joyce’s Legacy on Varick Street on “Bloomsday” The city of Utica will be transformed into Dublin for one day on Saturday, June 17, as the Utica NY Area Irish Coalition will present its first “Bloomsday” Celebration with a pub crawl visiting seven stops along Varick Street in the city’s brewery district. In James Joyce’s monumental classic “Ulysses,” (often cited as the greatest English-language novel of all time) June 16 is the date that the book’s protagonist, Leopold Bloom, undertakes his one day sojourn through the streets of Dublin. Since the first two-man Bloomsday celebration in 1954, that date (or as near as practicable) continues to be celebrated in countries as far-ranging as Hungary, Italy, Australia and the Czech Republic, with a range of cultural activities including readings and dramatizations of scenes from the novel (as well as the responsible partaking of adult beverages). The UNYAIC event will start at noon with a brief gathering at Utica Brews, located at 809 Court St., Utica, and will proceed, in order, to the Saranac Brewery, Nail Creek Pub, the new Irish Cultural Building site, O’Donnell’s, The Sanctuary, and will finish at 5 PM at the Celtic Harp. Each stop will feature short readings from the book and live Irish music, and food and drinks will be available for purchase. Participants will receive a special commemorative T-shirt and will also get a passport stamped at each stop to be eligible for prize drawings at the end of the crawl.

I am so pleased to welcome you to experience music in Seidler spaces. The five venues cover 50 years of architectural creativity; each one makes a distinct spatial experience. It was the Rose Seidler house of 1950 which brought Harry to Australia; 9–28 JANUARY it instantly became a beacon for modernism, creating an informal way of life and blending with nature. Our own house at Killara almost 20 years later is where Harry loved to play Bach on the piano. The house is tougher, made of concrete and stone, a split-level construction; both houses remain identical to the time of their completion. The Milsons Point apartment of 1988 and Cove Apartments of 2003 illustrate Harry’s increasing use of grand curved spaces, and the Elizabeth Street office venue of the late ’90s is an example of robust commercial architecture. Harry and I loved having music fill the spaces and I hope you will also enjoy music in architecture.

  • Historical Performance Practice at the Beginning of the New Millennium
    Historical Performance Practice at the beginning of the new millennium Dorottya Fabian An interest in early music and performing practices of the past has a long history by now. Its characteristics in the nineteenth century have been mapped by several authors, especially in relation to the revival of Johann Sebastian Bach’s music, the Cecilian Movement and various musical developments in England. Even more pub- lications are available on its twentieth-century history.1 The initiatives during the early decades (e.g. the organ and recorder movements of the 1920s, the establish- ing of the Schola Cantorum in Basel in 1933) and the contribution of pioneers like Wanda Landowska and Arnold Dolmetsch have been extensively studied togeth- er with lesser-known figures, places and institutions.2 But as is well-known, it was during the second half of the twentieth century that the Early Music or Historically Informed Performance Movement has truly taken off, becoming a major force in the world of classical music. Many books and papers have been dedicated to the history of this development, its various phases, musical characteristics, key figures, aesthetic outlook and philosophical assumptions, and its achievements. There was a burgeon- ing of such literature and heated debates during the 1980s and 1990s followed by more comprehensive and ‘corrective’ analyses published during the early years of the 2000s, most focussing on the second half of the twentieth century.3 Much less has 1 Harry Haskell, The Early Music Revival – A History, London 1988; George B.

His hallmark would be clarity of statement in a sophisticated yet comprehensible language characterised by humanity. Although it is not surprising to find such character attributes in a composer and musician, it is astounding that the composer Brett Dean can communicate so directly in a musical language that is unconditionally contemporary. This may be due to the open-mindedness of a man for whom it is not enough to write music for music’s sake but who wants to present to an audience his love of playfulness, pensive reflection and emotional engagement. The spectator experiences this range like a kaleidoscope in the ballet One of a Kind; hundreds and thousands focuses on building a bridge to INTRODUCTION popular music; and Carlo is evocative of the sensibility of the Renaissance. Dean’s compositions Intimate Decisions and Beggars and Angels were inspired by cycles of works of the same title by his wife, the painter Heather Betts.
