In the Utzon Room

Classical Music

Join us for this very special collaborative performance with world-renowned UK vocal ensemble VOCES8 and the MAXed OUT youth choir from Moorambilla Voices.

This special performance features works by Australian composers Andrew Howes, Kevin Barker, Josie Gibson and Nancy Bates.

As part of the Sydney Opera House Utzon Music Education Series 2024.

A powerful night of choral music with harbour views

Moorambilla Voices is a multi-arts organisation that works with children and youth of regional and remote NSW to co-create, perform and record original works that gather their core artistic inspiration from the region of New South Wales they call home.

This special performance features a collection of works by Australian composers Andrew Howes, Kevin Barker and Josie Gibson which draw on the cultural legacy and spirit of Country, framed by a decade of Artistic and Cultural Immersions facilitated and supported by Indigenous Elders, Linguists and Cultural Knowledge Holders. The performance will also feature a composition by Indigenous singer and songwriter Nancy Bates.

Moorambilla’s MAXed OUT youth ensemble, representing over 21 Local Government Areas of regional and remote NSW, will be joined by world-renowned UK vocal ensemble VOCES8, pianist Sally Whitwell and saxophonist Christina Leonard to bring you a performance not to be missed.

The Utzon Music Series Education Program is enabled by both the Sydney Opera House and Moorambilla Voices donor families – thank you to our long-standing Idealist supporter’s Ingrid Kaiser and Ann Sherry AO & Michael Hogan.
