Palm Sunday Concert, Christ Church Anglican
Cathedral
5:00pm Sunday 28th March
2010 |
 |
Darwin Chorale will present a concert of select sacred music which
foreshadows the events of Easter. The
motets are joyful in the spirit of Palm
Sunday, when Jesus rode on a donkey into
Jerusalem when the crowds chanted “Hosanna
to the Son of David, blessed is he that
comes in the name of the Lord.” Other pieces are devotional and uplifting to inspire a reflection of the
story of Easter. The major work being performed is the Requiem by Gabriel Faurè,
composer, teacher, pianist and organist.
Regarded as the master of French song, Faurè’s
individual approach to harmony and
modulation is linked to great melodic
invention, evident in the work being
performed on Palm Sunday. |

Sex in the Desert, Studio
(cabaret)
8:00pm Saturday 10th April 2010 |

The
most commonly asked question to the 'Sex in
the Desert' experience is "who do they sound
like?" Well, if you locked the Ramones,
Grinspoon and REM away together in a hotel
room for a weekend, their love child born on
Monday morning would be indie cult rock band
Sex in the Desert! Formed in 2003 and now with two CDs
under their belt, various line-up changes
and gigs in every pub, club, living room and
backyard in Darwin, the band has evolved
into a distinctive, bold beat-driven,
straight-to-your-jugular orgy of post punk
surf rock. Get ready for a powerful, explosive
performance that'll leave you asking "where
did these guys come from?" |

room, air and amplification - creating deep undertones
and blossoming overtones via these manifold resonances. Kris Keogh is well-known locally through his electronic
project Cooperblack whose various releases have garnered
critical acclaim and airplay - in 2007 he topped the
Triple J Unearthed electronic charts. Returning to the
