A monumental musical odyssey of passion and redemption, Requiem for the Earth celebrates our glorious planet while warning that it is in peril. Legendary flamenco guitarist Paco Peña weaves joy with sorrow while reflecting on humanity's impact on nature. With lyrics in Spanish and Latin, this stunning performance intricately merges the solemnity of a traditional Requiem with the vibrant energy of flamenco. This hopeful call to action features world-class musicians from Spain alongside the choral power of Adelaide's own Rising Voices and Young Adelaide Voices, in an unmatched auditory experience, urging us to protect our world. Opening with Brisbane’s inspiring Aurora Guitar Ensemble of 26 young players, this concert will be a festival highlight on a grand scale, with a critical message for our times.
