Compose Queer – Postponed until late 2020

Along with the rest of our season, Compose Queer will likely be postponed. Even if all the restrictions are released by August 8th, we would still require ample rehearsal time.

We will send out a ticket link as soon as it available!

Future Concerts

Fauré’s Requiem – Postponed until 2021

Due to COVID-19, Divisi has postponed all concerts until further notice. Due to how we planned the rest of the year, this concert is likely to fall in 2021 at a similar time of year. We can’t wait to see you there.

In 2020 2021 Divisi will perform its first large scale work for Solo Baritone, Soprano, SATB chorus and Organ. Featuring our very own Baritone Bailey Montgomerie, Soprano Julia Krivoshev, and Conducted by Alex Gorbatov, we hope to encapsulate the very “human feeling of faith in eternal rest” which Fauré sought to recreate in this work.

Joby Talbot – Path of Miracles – Postponed until December

Divisi and Candlelight Vox join forces under the baton of Grace Gallur to perform Talbot’s four-movement epic Path of Miracles. The work was commissioned for Tenebrae and chronicles the physical, emotional, and physical transformations of the Camino de Santiago. The works four stages chronicle the languages and experiences of the pilgrimage and pay homage to the difficulty and pious nature of the work.

La Nuova Musica – October 2020

In this concert we contrast Nuova Musica (new music) with La Nuova Music, a style of music dominated by Montiverdi and Gesualdo. We will tackle this difficult repertoire with a group of 6 expert singers, just as it would have been done in 1600s Italy.

Past Concerts

Divisi in Recital – 9th August 2019

This showcase recital in Wyselaskie Auditorium featured a selection of choral masterpieces by Arvo Pärt, Franz Biebl, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, and a contemporary arrangement of Waltzing Matilda by Ruth McCall. This was our second major program and we tried a much quicker rehearsal period in an attempt to up the professional expectations of our singers and administration.

Tallis to Tavener – 25th May 2019

Tallis to Tavener was a reflective anthology of the evolution of English choral music. The selection of unaccompanied choral compositions featured an array of pronounced English composers in an attempt to document the development of the English tradition in choral composition and divulge its contributions to the distinct styles and techniques we hear in contemporary choral music today.
