Description

Illuminare - to illuminate, to bring light, to reveal.

In the soaring acoustics of St Stephen's Cathedral, Voices of Birralee's, Resonance of Birralee invites audiences into a program shaped by light in all its forms - luminous, spiritual, and deeply human. At its heart lies Illuminare, a work that speaks to the quiet radiance of hope, the kind that glows even in moments of stillness and uncertainty.

This performance explores the many ways light finds us: through music, through connections, and through memory. With ANZAC Day observed the following day, the program also offers a gentle nod to the ANZAC spirit - honouring those whose lives and stories continue to shape our collective understanding of courage and remembrance.

View profile

Voices of Birralee is a community arts organisation that believes singing together strengthens community, with choristers collaborating to create expressive music while building a strong sense of self and audiences being inspired by the beauty and infectiousness of joyous performance. Based in Brisbane, this not for profit choral organisation was founded in 1995 by Julie Christiansen OAM. The name Birralee is derived from an indigenous word, Birralii, used in the language of the Yuwaalaraay and Gamilaraay people from North-West NSW and South-West QLD, meaning 'child/children.' What began as a children's choir now comprises six ensembles (and a seventh adult project choir), which have attained a remarkable level of professionalism and are highly acclaimed by national and international audiences. Voices of Birralee caters for approximately 300 young people and employs 20 professional musicians and arts administrators and in excess of 25 volunteers. Our organisation believes in providing children and young people with rewarding singing experiences both onstage and beyond the concert hall. Our activities focus on the provision of positive life experiences that sees choristers grow as competent and confident human beings.
