A Celebration of Gabriel Fauré’s Choral Masterpieces
Bel Canto Singers warmly invite you to Eternal Light — a luminous celebration of the music of Gabriel Fauré, one of France’s most cherished and enduring composers. Taking place in the beautiful Redcliffe Uniting Church, renowned for its stunning architecture and iconic pipe organ, this concert promises a moving and uplifting experience for all ages.
Music Director and Conductor Chloe Han has curated a luminous program featuring a selection of Fauré’s most beloved choral works, including the serene Requiem, Op. 48, the delicate Messe Basse, and the radiant Ave verum corpus and Tantum ergo from Two Motets, Op. 65. These works are known for their lyrical beauty, emotional depth, and Fauré’s unique ability to express light and peace through music.
We are delighted to welcome two special guest artists: distinguished organist Dr Phillip Gearing, whose sensitive and expressive playing will bring Fauré’s organ writing to life, and baritone soloist Nic Wallace, who will feature in the Requiem with his warm and resonant voice.
Adding a special touch to the performance is the Banksia Beach State School Senior Choir, who will join Bel Canto Singers for Pie Jesu from the Requiem and selected movements from Messe Basse, and also present two delightful works of their own: Now the Day Is Over and Popcorn. Their presence brings an intergenerational spirit of joy and community to the event.
Whether you are a long-time admirer of Fauré or new to his music, Eternal Light offers an afternoon of reflection, beauty, and harmony in one of the region’s most stunning performance spaces.
