The Sydney Philharmonia Choirs and the Sydney Philharmonia Baroque Ensemble are performing at the Snow Concert Hall in Canberra next Saturday afternoon, August 23.

It is set to be "one of the largest stage productions yet in the capital's youngest hall".

The concert starts at 2.30pm next Saturday, in the Snow Concert Hall, which is part of the Canberra Grammar School campus in Red Hill.

Tickets are at snowconcerthall.com.

The program is Voices of the Italian Baroque.

Sydney Philharmonia Choirs artistic director Brett Weymark has curated a selection of works by Italian masters, such as Giovanni Gabrieli, Antonio Caldara, Domenico Scarlatti and Claudio Monteverdi.

The uplifting program will be performed by the 40 virtuosic singers ofthe choirs' acclaimed chamber singers and an intimate ensemble of leading Australian Baroque musicians.

"Immerse yourself in the splendid choral music that once echoed beneath the gilded domes and painted ceilings of Rome's majestic chapels and reverberated among the lavish balconies overlooking Venice's Piazza San Marco," a spokesperson said.

"The 17th and early 18th centuries, renowned for ushering in a period of unprecedented cultural flourishing and innovative thinking, witnessed the creation of some of the Western world's most magnificent art and architecture, along with its most visionary and evocative music."

The Canberra Times has two premium double passes to give away to readers.
