This eagerly anticipated return collaboration with the exceptional vocalists of Fiore Chamber (all young artistis with a strong ABCI connection) focusses on the captivating choral music of Benjamin Britten. Featuring some of his greatest works with organ including 'Rejoice in the Lamb' and the 'Missa Brevis' for treble voices, this performance will also include the composer's spellbinding 'Hymn to the Virgin', written when he was only 16 years of age. An exciting Bendigo Keys of Gold festival event in this significant Britten anniversary year.
