A WELCOMING SAFE HAVEN BROUGHT TO LIFE THROUGH MUSIC
Music can evoke a sense of sanctuary, calm and belonging. As millions of people worldwide searched for refuge, Sanctuary was a timely musical event.
Camerata – Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra performed a beautifully curated program that explored the themes of sanctuary: our universal need for a safe haven in a troubled world.
In a world premiere event, the program featured a concerto by revered pianist and unique composer – and second generation Australian immigrant – Joe Chindamo, commissioned for the wife and husband team of oboist Diana Doherty and cor-anglais player Alexandre Oguey.
The concert also included a world premiere arrangement of Elvis Costello’s haunting war song Favourite Hour by the Brodsky Quartet’s Paul Cassidy.
