Five Days that changed the World

Five Days that changed the World

Five Days that changed the World

Various dates in May 2021  
Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo

English composer Bob Chilcott's setting of a new text by Charles Bennett, takes singers on a journey through five historical events:  the invention of printing, the abolition of slavery, the first powered  flight, the discovery of penicillin, and the first man in space.  In  each movement, music and words come together to create a strikingly  vivid and personal account of each protagonist's experience, from the  printer seeing 'each letter like a person' to the astronaut commenting  on the beauty of our planet from space.
