Victoria Chorale Christmas Concert 2025 'o Magnum Mysterium'

Join Victoria Chorale for a Christmas tradition. This year we celebrate the mystery and wonder of Christmas with “O Magnum Mysterium”.

Adult $65/$70 after November (Generous concessions available for under 30’s, students, pensioners and children)

The Latin phrase "O magnum mysterium" speaks to the great mystery of the Incarnation—that divine moment when God became human, born humbly in a stable. This ancient text has inspired composers across the ages, and we'll perform several stunning interpretations, as well as selections from J.S. Bach's magnificent Christmas Oratorio, bringing the nativity story to life through some of the most glorious music ever written.

This year, we're thrilled to collaborate with The Choir of St Andrews Brighton—Victoria's oldest choir, singing continuously since 1842! This extraordinary ensemble has the longest continual musical tradition of any institution in Victoria. With their renowned excellence in choral performance, professional-standard training, and rich 180-year heritage, they bring an unparalleled level of artistry to our collaboration. Their lay clerks (including adult professional singers) will join us as soloists creating a truly magnificent combined choir experience.

Of course, no Christmas concert would be complete without beloved carols, and we'll include a wonderful selection that includes our usual community carol segments that make our Christmas concerts so special.

Don't miss this chance to end 2025 with a grand performance of wonderful music.
