Celebrate the spirit and joy of
the Christmas season with Camerata Queensland in a concert of classics
and carols on Sunday 23 December at 3pm in St Mark’s Anglican Church,
Main Street Buderim.
The exciting concert will feature internationally renowned German baritone Hans-Georg Wimmer. His performances on the Coast during the past few years will be remembered for the outstanding acclaim they received from both audiences and critics. Other soloists are mother-and-daughter Australian violinists Julie-Ann and Cara O’Reilly and New Zealand oboist John Green, and the Camerata Queensland orchestra and its recently founded vocal ensemble will be conducted by Rita Paczian.

features German star baritone Hans-Georg Wimmer.

The varied program includes excerpts from the Christmas Oratorios by J.S. Bach and Saint-Saens and will also feature a variety of Christmas Carols from throughout the world arranged by Rita Paczian for choir and orchestra. You can also hear two of the most famous and beautiful Baroque concertos: Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins and Albinoni’s Oboe Concerto in d minor. Both were placed in the top 40 in the recent ABC Classic FM “Classic 100 Concertos” competiton, with the concerto for two violins (No 8) being the most popular Bach concerto and the Albinoni (No 36) the most popular oboe concerto.
Camerata Queensland is the Coast’s own professional instrumental and vocal ensemble, directed by international conductor, harpsichordist and singer Rita Paczian. Camerata QLD specialises in historically informed performances of music of Bach and his contemporaries, but their repertoire also extends to twentieth century works and includes both familiar masterpieces and works that have yet to become favourites. Its members are all leading Queensland musicians.
Entry is by program available at the door; adults $25 and under 16 $10. Eftpos and credit card facilities are not available. The venue is air-conditioned and complimentary wine and cheese will be served after the concert. Reservations are recommended and can be made at www.camerataqld.com.au or by phoning (07) 5483 4883.
