Join Adelaide Cantata Band in an evening of stunning 18th-century Bach masterworks at Bethlehem Lutheran Church this November.

Indulge in a sublime melting-pot of emotion and intellect, expressed through some of the most stunning music ever written for voices and instruments – Bach’s iconic cantatas, Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (BWV 140), with its beloved chorale “Sleepers, Wake,” and Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott (BWV 80), a stirring work for Reformation Day.

With acclaimed bass-baritone Nicholas Dinopoulos alongside an elite chamber choir, three Baroque oboes, and virtuoso violinist Runa Baagøe, this is a celebration of Baroque brilliance not to be missed.

Two stunning new chamber works premiere within MOD.’s Forever exhibition, where composers have worked alongside museum researchers to explore themes of time, memory, and transformation through music. Commissioned by Chamber Music Adelaide in partnership with MOD. and supported by Create SA.

Kate Macfarlane and Ensemble 642 (Hannah Lane – baroque harp, Nicholas Pollock – lutes) return to Adelaide to explore the highly expressive mad songs of seventeenth century England. The program draws on the poetry, music and drama of this intriguing genre, interspersing contemporary readings and folk song to evoke the tumult of the human mind, and the dramatic intensity brought on by madness, longing and love.

Adelaide Chamber Singers’ Rising Voices will help you end the year on a musical high as they lift our voices to ‘raise you’ with music of emotional power and inspiration. Conducted by Carl Crossin.

Handel’s music is eternal, optimistic, lively, and given fresh life in this invigorating and inspiring performance. What Christmas is complete without the joyous music of “For unto us a child is Born”, the Hallelujah Chorus, and the resounding final Amen? And no more fitting venue than the beautiful surrounds of St Peter’s Cathedral.
