The Camberwell Chorale and Camerata Orchestra will present 2 romantic masterpieces, Schubert's beautiful and devotional Mass No. 5 in A flat and Chopin's lush and lyrical Piano Concerto No 1 in E Minor.Schubert began to write the Mass in A-flat Major in the summer of 1819, intending to dedicate the mass to Emperor Franz I. Three years later, one of his finest sacred choral works was completed. The gentle opening moment, the Kyrie, caresses the listener while the extensive fugue, cum sancto spiritu in the Gloria, exemplifies mastery of contrapuntal composition.
The beauty and depth of Chopin's Piano Concerto No 1 which premiered in 1820, remains a timeless reminder of Chopin's unique gift as a piano master and a composer. His music continues to inspire and hold a special place in the hearts of music lovers worldwide.

Rachel Shindag, winner of the 2023 Boroondara Piano Concerto Competition
Lauren Oldham – Soprano
Kerrie Bolton – Contralto
Christopher Busietta – Tenor
Manfred Pohlenz – Bass
