Event Date: 16/08/2026, 03:00 pm
Sydney | Aug 16 | Showcasing our performance tour to Portugal and Spain in October 2026
Romancero Gitano (Gypsy Romances) by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco is an evocative choral setting of powerful lyrics by Federico García Lorca, portraying the everyday lives of common people in a Spain soaked in passion, and fully brought to life with the virtuosic guitar playing of Ermanno Brignolo.
Our varied program features Balada de la Luna, Luna, by Modesta Bor (Venezuela), also set to Lorca’s poetry, and Ave Maris Stella by Eva Ugalde (Spain), as well as Canciones Sefardíes (Sephardic songs) by one of Spain’s most popular composers, Joaquin Rodrigo, commemorating the 125th anniversary of his birth.
Our tour includes performances in Leiria (Portugal), Seville, Granada, Lliria, Montserrat and Sabadell (Spain), and we are delighted to feature works by Australian composers David Basden, Clare Maclean, Paul Stanhope and Joseph Twist.
Come and enjoy all this music in Ashfield Town Hall on 16th August, followed by refreshments!
Coro Austral is Sydney’s specialist Spanish and Latin American chamber choir.
