    Description: Wayfaring
    Brisbane Chamber Choir, directed by Graeme Morton, succumb to the wandering spirit as music of Australia and Singapore intertwine in this unique concert. Hear local composers Joseph Twist and Paul-Antoni Bonetti alongside emerging Singaporean composers.

    The concert features 'The Old Prison' by Joseph Twist and 'Requiem' by Paul-Antoni Bonetti. These works were commissioned by Brisbane Chamber Choir in 2009 to celebrate the sesquicentenary (150th anniversary) of the separation of Queensland from New South Wales. This separation in 1859 established the Colony of Queensland which later became the State of Queensland as part of the Federation of Australia.

    With special guest conductor Dr Shahril Salleh this mix of musical ideas is sure to inspire.
