From the ethereal ‘Pie Jesu’ to the transcendent ‘In Paradisum’, every moment is crafted to uplift the soul.

The world-renowned Opera Australia Chorus will be conducted by esteemed Chorus Master Paul Fitzsimon. They’ll be joined by Chad Kelly, playing the Church’s Bicentennial Pipe Organ, an incredible instrument commissioned for the Church’s 200th birthday in 2024.
