Stabat Mater and Angel Song.

STABAT MATER
Pergolesi's famous account of Mary kneeling at the Cross is a tour de force for soprano and countertenor, bridging the gap between the choral and operatic repertoire. The stunning purity of Syntony's singers will be complemented by some of Australia's finest baroque players: three of the principal string players of the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra - Lucinda Moon and Ben Dollman (violins) and Jamie Hey (cello), and Adelaide's own Tim Marks (viola), and Glenys March (harpsichord).

Emma Horwood - soprano
Matthew Rutty - countertenor
Timothy Marks - bass/viola

Ben Dollman - violin
Jamie Hey - cello
Glenys March - harpsichord
