For its second major performance in this Golden Jubilee year, the choir travels to Christ Church South Yarra. The concert, on the afternoon of Sunday 24 June, features an eclectic program of music that evokes the world of the '60s, years of change and struggle—Hymns to Freedom focuses on dreams of freedom, including spirituals of the African Americans, protest songs of the 60’s, Oscar Petersen’s Hymn to Freedom and Herbert Howells’ motet on the death of J.F. Kennedy, Take Him, Earth, for Cherishing.
