World Premiere of Australian Composer Andrew Schultz’s Piano Concerto

Cadogan Hall | Wednesday 15 Oct 2025 @ 7:30pm

TICKETS FROM £17 - £37

The London Chorus, one of the city’s most prestigious choirs, will present a very special concert this October under the baton of guest conductor Adrian Brown. This inspiring programme highlights a strong Australian collaboration, supported by the Australian Music Foundation.

The evening will feature five distinguished Australian artists, including Australian Music Foundation alumni Alexandra Flood (Soprano, 2015 Awardee) and Duncan Rock (Baritone, 2008 Awardee), alongside Deborah Humble (Mezzo-Soprano), Brad Cooper (Tenor), and the renowned concert pianist Rosemary Tuck.

The concert opens with Brahms’ Schicksalslied (Song of Destiny), a powerful choral work setting Hölderlin’s moving text contrasting divine serenity with human struggle.

The centrepiece of the programme is the world premiere of Australian composer Andrew Schultz’s Piano Concerto, Op. 114, performed by Rosemary Tuck. This beautiful and deeply expressive new work, in two movements, continues the theme of enlightenment and self-discovery, echoing the contrasts first explored by Brahms.

The evening culminates with a performance of Mozart’s Requiem Mass in D minor — one of the greatest and most beloved masterpieces in the choral repertoire — performed by The London Chorus, the New London Orchestra, and the four outstanding Australian soloists.
