2025 Season: 2 Concert Canberra Package
Purchase a 2 concert package, exclusively on offer in Canberra. This package offers a discount on the following performances:
GESUALDO TENEBRAE
Saturday 29 March, 7.30pm Wesley Uniting Church, Canberra
GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS
Sunday 12 October – 6.00pm, Wesley Uniting Church, Canberra
Each of these concerts takes as its starting point a Renaissance work that even today strikes the ears and eyes as avant-garde: Gesualdo’s Tenebrae Responsoria, and Hieronymus Bosch’s triptych “De tuin der lusten” (Garden of Lust, Garden of Earthly Delights). Both touch on transgressions and subversions; the breaking of artistic, moral, and social norms, and the sometimes-porous borders between the sacred and profane, and its no coincidence that both are late works. Where Gesualdo’s responsories offer a radically unorthodox, subversive musical language, contained in a sacred, liturgical vessel, Bosch’s painting might be seen as a deeply pious statement, presented in a surreal, often grotesque tableau of sacrilegious excesses and indulgences. No music is timeliness, but both of these programs explore the elasticity of time, and concepts of morality and modernity.
When you purchase a 2 concert package, e-tickets for each concert will be emailed to you. You will receive your e-tickets in February 2025.
