Silence & Rapture

A mesmerising collaboration with the Australian Chamber Orchestra featuring choreography by Rafael Bonachela, countertenor Iestyn Davies and the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and Arvo Pärt.

Silence & Rapture


Dates:   2 – 19 August 2024


Locations:    Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra & Brisbane


Duration:   Approx. 2 hours including interval


 

Composing three centuries apart, Johann Sebastian Bach and Arvo Pärt’s timeless music speaks to the human soul. From rockstars and writers to artists and filmmakers, these composers are revered by music lovers across genres and generations. The last time the ACO performed their music together, it was a sell-out. Richard Tognetti directs this mesmerising collaboration between the ACO and Sydney Dance Company that brings together music, movement and evocative lighting to create something truly extraordinary.

Expressing the luminous longing at the heart of this music is choreography by Sydney Dance Company’s Artistic Director, Rafael Bonachela, while Gramophone Award-winning countertenor Iestyn Davies makes his Australian debut, bringing these stirring melodies to life.

Don’t miss this extraordinary collaboration in 2024.
