Dear friends, family and supporters,
Excelsis is very excited to announce our major concert for 2024, ‘resonance‘.
The concert will be held on the evening of Saturday, 31 August, at St Paul’s Cathedral, and will showcase the diverse work of contemporary Asian choral composers.
To conduct the performance, the globally recognised artist and conductor, Jennifer Tham (Singapore) will travel to Melbourne. Jennifer has carefully curated our programme for ‘resonance’ and we can’t wait to share it with you.
