Musica Viva: Academy of Ancient Music & Sara Macliver at Concert Hall, QPAC

The Academy of Ancient Music is one of the world's great period-instrument bands. To celebrate 40 years of performances that have touched hearts and inspired minds around the globe, Musica Viva brings the AAM to Australia for a series of vibrant performances with soprano Sara Macliver.

The enchanting melodies of Handel and Purcell take centre stage, brought to life by the silvery beauty of Sara's effortless voice and immaculate coloratura. London-based AAM are world leaders in this repertoire, exploring the golden age of English composition with passion, skill and joyous enthusiasm. This is music performed as the composers anticipated: open-hearted, energised, by turns triumphant and despairing.

This unmissable, diverse and compelling program of Baroque masterworks will linger in the memory like an enjoyable party with beloved friends and charming new acquaintances.
