Transformations - Nipaluna/Hobart 5PM

In this stunning program, Van Diemen's Band and bass-baritone Andrew O’Connor perform a program of sacred and secular works from 17th Century northern Germany and Venice, alongside new Australian works specially commissioned for this collaboration.

This gloriously expressive repertoire, characterised by rich harmonies and playful dialogue, is the perfect medium to showcase the beauty of the baritone voice.

Set in the soaring acoustic of St Canice's, this concert features not one but TWO settings of Psalm 57 - Mein Herz ist Bereit (My heart is steadfast) - by Nicolaus Bruhns and Dieterich Buxtehude (the composer that JS Bach famously walked over 400 kilometres to Lübeck to see perform), plus two new works by Australian composers Alice Chance and Brooke Shelley.
