Description
"Splendour of Venice" in the Splendour of St Mary's Cathedral, a unique musical spectacular in 2012.
"The Splendour of Venice" showcased Sydney Brass, the St Mary's Choir and the Choir of St James to mark the 400th anniversary of the death of Venetian composer and organist, Giovanni Gabrieli who died on 12 August 1612.
The Choir of St Mary’s Cathedral is Australia’s oldest permanent musical organisation. Its history dates from 1818 when a choir, formed to sing at masses conducted for Catholic convicts, became the ‘court house’ choir. After the establishment of St Mary’s Cathedral in 1833 the Choir became a regular part of Cathedral worship. St Mary’s is now the only Cathedral in Australia to have an on-site choir school where the 34 boy choristers are educated. The other parts of the choir are provided by choral scholars and lay clerks who are professional singers. The Choir’s primary function is to provide music at six choral services in the Cathedral each week but it has also undertaken several international tours, recordings and concert projects.
The Choir of St James’, one of Australia’s oldest musical institutions, can trace its lineage back to the early years of the parish. Indeed, some of its early members were convicts. For much of its almost two hundred years of ministry, the Choir has been regarded as one of Australia’s foremost Anglican choirs. This has continued to the present day.
