NEWS & REVIEWS
"Immediately striking from the first movement of this performance was the Australian Boys Choir’s beauty of tone…Director and conductor Nicholas Dinopoulos must be congratulated for his assured presence at the podium, a testimony to some careful preparation of young talent. To bring together the numerous forces required in a nuanced performance of a new vision of Bach’s music is work that continues to inspire as much as it consoles the soul with some of the sweetest music the world has as its heritage."
★★★★☆ "The glorious Agnus Dei, with all four soloists combining beautifully, complemented by the 50 voices and strings, brass and drums, brought this excellent program to a close. Dinopoulos led a tight and well-judged performance, leaving those who had attended either live or digitally with some superb musical memories of this Austrian Encounter."
★★★★ "With its insightful programming, wide community engagement and high artistic standards, the Australian Boys Choir and its affiliate groups have much to celebrate in their 80th anniversary year."
★★★★☆ "A sage colleague once commented that you can always measure the health of a country’s culture by how well its children sing. Based on this performance by the Australian Boys Choir in St Paul’s Cathedral, Melbourne on Sunday afternoon we’re doing pretty well."
"The success of this performance was built on the vocal texture achieved. The uniqueness of boys' voices in creating an almost celestial aesthetic has long been the desired goal in sacred music."
"It is clear that the Australian Boys Choral Institute is in very good hands. This was a courageous program showing deep thought about the choir, its history and future, and its place in contemporary Australia."
"You won't suffer from lack of variety at an Australian Boys Choir concert...assured, well-balanced and an ideal sample of the finest contemporary music-making for Christmas."
