Creative Cuts - Oriana Choir presents...

The Sunshine Coast's premiere vocal group, Oriana Choir launches the  -  Christmas season with John Rutter's Magnificat and Requiem, 16th  November 2:00pm at Maleny State Primary School, and 17th November  2:00pm at Stella Maris Catholic Primary School Performance Hall, Maroochydore  

John Rutter's Magnificat is a radiant and joyful choral work that celebrates  Mary, the mother of Jesus, with a vibrant blend of traditional and contemporary  musical elements. Composed in 1990, this seven-movement piece draws  inspiration from the rich traditions of Latin American and European sacred music  infusing it with Rutter's distinctive lyrical style.  Under the masterful direction of Kim Kirkman, the choir will be accompanied  by Sinfonia of St Andrew's with soprano Elisabeth Wallis Gaedtke lending her  beautiful voice to the performance  

The Magnificat and Requiem are two contrasting yet equally inspiring works  that allow the Oriana voices to explore the full range of emotion and expression.  Visit oriana.org.au for all performance and booking details.
