Bel a cappella | Choral Colours

Bel a cappella joins forces with the Orange Regional Conservatorium Chamber Choir for a vibrant collaboration. Together, the choirs present a kaleidoscope of choral colour - bookended by Vierne’s commanding Kyrie from the Messe Solennelle and Parry’s jubilant I was glad. The program features luminous sacred works and celebrates the joy of making music across communities.
