THE SONG COMPANY's opening concert Wednesday 24th March (8pm) at the Wollongong City Art Gallery is based on the Song of Songs and featuring a spine-tingling interpretation by Andrew Schultz, the Dean of Creative Arts .
Songs of Songs - Spirituality and eroticism in one, the Song of Songs, attributed to Solomon, has been described as the greatest of all love songs.
The extraordinary wealth of ravishing vocal music, inspired by this magical poetry with unashamedly erotic as well as mystic and even cabalistic dimensions, has easily swept aside the most heated controversies.
For several years, The Song Company has researched Renaissance settings based on interpretations of the old biblical text. In this 20th anniversary year we present fresh new selections of Renaissance settings complemented by Ekstasis, a spine-tingling modern classic by Andrew Schultz.
