It is with huge disappointment that we announce that the NSW Government has imposed a forced closure of City Recital Hall and that from a practical perspective, the Voyage of Musical Discovery 'Voices & Instruments' has therefore been cancelled due to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).

On a more social and personal level, the health, safety and wellbeing of our musicians, staff and audience as well as that of our surrounding community are of the highest priority so that even without the above practical considerations, we are sure you will agree that this is the only pathway available to us.

We will be working together with our performance partners and associated venues to reschedule this program and will update the website in the coming weeks.

Patrons will be advised directly by the City Recital Hall box office regarding the issuing of refunds for tickets purchased for this performance.

Voices & Instruments shines a spotlight on women composers from the past and present. The Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra's expert local and international chamber musicians introduce the collaborative interplay of instruments – and their roles and personalities – in one of Louise Farrenc's most accomplished achievements, her Nonet for winds and strings.

Sydney Chamber Choir regularly commissions and premieres works by established and emerging Australian composers to support and celebrate the high-quality music being created here and now. They explain and present a varied selection of Australian choral works and highlight some of the many original ways that composers turn voices into instruments, and instruments into voices.
