About
Concordis Chamber Choir invites you to Home, a celebration of belonging, memory and the places we carry with us.
Drawing on themes of nature and longing, the program moves from the beauty of Jake Runestad’s Come to the Woods to the intimate reflections of Daniel Elder’s Star Sonnet and Ballade to the Moon. Susan LaBarr’s We Remember Them explores the enduring power of memory, while five works by four women composers bring distinctive voices to the program, including the Australian premiere of Katerina Gimon’s Step by Step.
At the heart of Home is Dougie MacLean’s beloved Caledonia, arranged by Blake Morgan. A song of homesickness and longing for Scotland, Caledonia has become a powerful expression of what it means to leave home and find your way back. Concordis prepared and recorded the work in 2021 during the pandemic, but never had the chance to perform it live. Five years on, Home finally brings this much-loved piece to the stage.
