Lose yourself in Fauré’s most enduring and beloved work.

Season 2026 Subscriptions are on sale now. Individual concerts will go on sale to the general public on Monday, 17 November 2025 at 9am.

Chief Conductor Umberto Clerici leads a program that begins in brightness and ends in serenity. 

Maria Grenfell’s Gaudete Fanfare sets the tone with brilliance and joy, before Katy Abbott’s Fanfare for the Melancholy reflects on the quiet struggles of modern life. 

At the heart of the program is Fauré’s Requiem, featuring soprano Stacey Alleaume, baritone Christopher Richardson, and the Brisbane Chamber Choir Collective. Unlike the fire and fury of traditional requiems, Fauré’s is gentle, luminous, and deeply human. 

Even now, few works speak so clearly, or so tenderly.
