It gives us great pleasure to be able to invite you to join us for a special performance of ‘Carols from St Mary’s’ on Friday 18th December. Whilst this year has brought great hardship to some, and disappointment to most, there have nevertheless been multiple, often surprising, causes for happiness, and even some special occasions to which we all can look forward. We hope that the opportunity to enjoy beautiful carols and Christmas readings, with the St Mary’s Cathedral Choir and Orchestra, in our stunning Cathedral, will be one of these silver linings for you.

Guests are requested to arrive early, so that registration in accordance with the Cathedral’s COVID-safe plan can take place. Furthermore, the 7pm concert will be recorded for broadcast. Please note that should you wish to attend the 11am concert that the performance may be subject to minor interruptions for technical reasons, as we prepare for the filming of the evening concert.

Please note that all attendees must move directly to a seat and remain seated for the duration of the concert.

We are grateful to our supporters, who this year, have given us the opportunity to make this concert FREE for all attendees.

Stations of the Cross (Simon Nieminski & Cathedral Scholars)

On Wednesday 10th April, the cathedral will present the Australian première of Stations of the Cross
for organ (played by Simon Niemiński) and the Stabat Mater tropes sung by (The St Mary’s Cathedral Scholars) by Giles Swayne, one of the worlds most distinguished living composers.

Stations of the Cross (2004-5) is possibly the most significant organ work to have been commissioned in recent times: intensely powerful and descriptive, and at the pinnacle of virtuosic organ repertoire. Swayne’s own Stabat Mater plainchant tropes will be sung between movements.

Please join us for this devotional performance of this significant and challenging work.

Wednesday 10th April, 7.00 p.m.
Free admission (retiring collection)
