Welcome to AURORA, a celebration of music from icy Nordic
soundscapes, to rich Baltic folksong. Featuring the Leichhardt Espresso Chorus, Sydney Latvian Mens Choir, the Acacia Quartet, Lani Kains (soprano), and Catherine McKay on piano, we’ll share northern songs from the
atmospheric worlds of Ola Gjeilo, Sigur Rós, Ēriks Ešenvalds, and Arvo
Pärt – even the iconic ABBA!
