Details
The Sydney Sacred Music Festival and Sydney Olympic Park Authority deliver one of the most unique music events ever seen in Sydney. Three world class music performances from diverse cultures and faiths coming together to transform the inner state of the audience at Building 20, the Armoury.
Building 20 is a decommissioned ammunition chambers that were built to withstand strong vibrations from the outside. This unique construction now gives us the opportunity to engage and play with the reverberant nature of the three Chambers. Each Chamber produces a unique amazing sound!
Your personal journey will start as you enter this unique building and then your transformation begins with the virtuoso violin playing of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra's Associate Concert Master Sun Yi, before you journey through two other chambers and experiences...
“If life is largely about how one rises to adversity, then Tony Gorman is a champion of the art.” John Shand
In 1997, Tony Gorman’s life changed dramatically when he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. A three time ARIA Award winner, Gorman who previously featured with bands such as Clarion Fracture Zone, MARA!, the Original Otto Orchestra and the Australian Art Orchestra, was suddenly challenged by the most basic motor skills. In a courageous journey back to musical expression he discovered a new ‘voice’ and direction.
In collaboration with Bobby Singh he has created a stunning vehicle that transcends genre and the physical limitation of MS to provide a feast of improvised sound and rhythm. Scottish born Gorman’s 35 year professional career as a musician, composer and producer has made him one of the most respected artists in Australia. Gorman is thrilled to be performing for the Sydney Sacred Music Festival in the amazing acoustics of the Armory’s Building 20.
In Chamber Three, you saw her on ‘The Voice’ this year, Classical Persian Singer Shirin Majd. Shirin was born in Tehran, Iran. At age 17, she began studying classical singing and joined the choir of Tehran Symphony Orchestra. She performed several concerts as a soloist or with orchestra in prestigious venues such as Vahdat Hall in Tehran. In 2010 she went on to study Opera and music at the Johann-Joseph Fux Konservatorium and at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz, Austria.
