A Chorus of Women marked the centenary of the WWI Armistice with a sell-out, standing-ovation performance of The People’s Passion at the Chapel of the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture. Our big choral drama moved singers and audience alike, sparking much reflection about the contribution music and great wise stories could make to Peace on Earth now. The People’s Passion will be repeated between Friday 28 June 2019 7:30 PM and Sunday 30 June 2019 5:00 PM at the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture, Barton, ACT.
With Johanna McBride directing, 50 passionate Canberrans sang in the women’s and children’s choruses alongside Narrator Miriam Pickard and vocal soloists and instrumentalists who included some of the city’s finest musicians.
On the occasion of the centenary of the Treaty of Versailles A Chorus of Women will present another two performances of The People’s Passion, our 100-year-old story of hope for people’s movements today.
A Chorus of Women will be joined by the Luminescence Children’s Choir and some of Canberra’s finest singers and musicians, among them singers AJ America, Jenny Sawer, Julia Wee and Maartje Sevenster as well as violinist Rowan Harvey-Martin and cellist Gillian Pereira.
The People’s Passion
Back by popular demand, The People’s Passion is a timeless story of the transforming potential of compassionate wisdom and women’s leadership. On the centenary of the disastrous Treaty of Versailles, we continue our story of a worldwide web of women who set the agenda for human rights and saved the lives of millions of children after WW1.
