Power in Stillness, by Christine McCombe
In July 2024, the Australian Chamber Choir gave eleven performances in Europe. This concert was presented by the Swiss international festival known as ‘Ceresio Estate’, a series of summer concerts in churches around Lake Lugano. European Audiences were fascinated by this new work by Christine McCombe.
Power in Stillness, commissioned by the ACC, was premiered in 2022 as part of a Melbourne concert entitled Vivaldi’s Gloria, Agatha’s Cantata, which also premiered a newly-discovered work by Agatha della Pietà (1712–69). You can watch the full concert on ACCess.
