Barker College Choir at St. Mary's Church

The Barker College Choir and Orchestra



8:00 p.m. in St. Mary Church



We are pleased to announce that the

internationally-acclaimed Barker College Choir & Orchestra from

Sydney, Australia will perform at St. Mary’s on their U.S. tour! Their

trip begins in Boston with performances at Boston Latin School and

Faneuil Hall Marketplace as well as workshops at Boston University and a

Sunday morning service at Old North Church. This visit will be

profoundly memorable for one particular Barker student, performing for

the first time in the city of her birth.

The event was scheduled at the request

of Barker choral director Peter Ellis, who had read of our organ

restoration project in the Boston Globe and reached out to Parish music

director Daniel Sauceda. Barker College maintains an active engagement

with its local community and is committed to maintaining this

engagement whenever it sends groups on tour.



Barker College

Choir & Orchestra is an Anglican School (K-12) in Sydney with a

large and highly successful music program. The group has regularly

performed internationally. Their 2013 U.S. tour includes stops in

Boston, New York City, Washington D.C., San Francisco, and Hershey,

Pennsylvania. Their repertoire includes religious music for the season

from the U.S., Australia, and the U.K. with a mixture of accompanied and

acappella works as well as chamber orchestral works and the

possibility for enthusiastic audience participation.
