Season 2024
Our 2024 season reveals itself in a series of gifts: gifts from composers to the musical spheres they inhabited, gifts of time and attention from audiences to performers, gifts of hard work and skill from performers to audiences. We celebrate two significant anniversaries: the centennial of the death of Gabriel Fauré, whose Requiem rightfully remains a perennial favourite among choral music lovers; and the 200th anniversary of the birth of Anton Bruckner, a beloved Romantic composer respected as much for his symphonies as his choral motets.
We invite you to take part in our season, to be part of these gifts, and to take something magical home with you when you leave one of our concerts.
Grads is pleased to work with 4 of Adelaide's most respected choral conductors this season. Read more about our guest conductors here.
Please read on for information about individual concerts. We are also pleased to offer discounts for patrons who wish to book for two or three concerts in advance.
Our season brochure can be found here.
Cadeau
A French gift
Let the luminous textures and radiant harmonies of Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem bear you aloft. This work embodies a gentle acceptance and eternal hope, which we explore in the 100th anniversary of the composer’s death.

Dāvana
A Latvian gift
As we emerge from the Australian winter, feel the last days of the northern summer enliven your soul. Gifts from Latvian composers lead you on a journey across the country, where the sun sparkles on warm summer seas and serene frosted lakes alike.

Donum mirabile
A wondrous gift
Antonio Vivaldi’s lively Magnificat sets the scene in all its Italianate Baroque intricacy and splendour. Trace these influences in the ornate polyphony of works by Austrian composer Anton Bruckner, as we celebrate the 200th year of his birth.
