Genevieve Lacey

\[Lacey plays with\] wit, sensuality, and mind-boggling flamboyance _The Guardian_

This chorus’s expertise in music pushes voices to extremes, from ethereal high tones to uncannily sustained bass drones _The New York Times_

The girl thought that she could hear ghost music, black swans whispering, descending in never-ending ribbons, gathering into flocks of thousands _Alexis Wright, The Swan Book_

The Latvian Radio Choir spreads its wings and flies with Australia’s own recorder queen, Genevieve Lacey. Join them as they look to the skies for dancing planets and soaring birds in the music of Pēteris Vasks. Get lost in the sheer beauty of Arvo Pärt’s Magnificat and listen to the world’s first singers in Hollis Taylor’s _Bird on Byrd_. Then experience an uplifting new commission from iconic Latvian composer, Ērik Ešenvalds, setting the words of multi-award-winning Australian author and poet, Alexis Wright.
