With the St George's Cathedral Consort Directed by Joseph Nolan.

A stunning program that begins with masterworks of the Renaissance and ends with modern-day classics by ABBA and Elton John.

St George's Cathedral Consort is one of Australia's leading choral ensembles and is frequently praised for its beautifully blended and lush sound. 

Joseph Nolan is internationally acclaimed as an organist and conductor with a reputation for exciting and vibrant performances. 

The concert begins with the beautiful Allegri's Miserere, which might never have been performed outside of the Vatican were it not for the audacity of a 14-year-old Mozart who transcribed it from memory after hearing a single performance. The world has since come to love the haunting quality of the music. 

The second half of this concert is devoted to the rich, sonorous harmonies of the blues and contemporary classics. The Lion Sleeps Tonight arranged by Jonathan Rathbone, is great fun and the ABBA arrangements demonstrate the sheer genius of the original compositions.
