Graham Abbott has been Conductor-in-Residence at the Elder
Conservatorium of Music Adelaide, Musical Director of Adelaide
Philharmonia Chorus, Associate Conductor of the Melbourne Symphony
Orchestra, Musical Director of Melbourne Chorale, and in 1997 was
Guest Chorus Master of the Chorus of the Royal Scottish National
Orchestra. He presented Cherubini's Requiem at the 2019 Festival._“I
am delighted to have been invited to return to the Festival of Voices
in 2020, and to be able to conduct one of my favourite works,
Rossini's Petite Messe solennelle. Scored for choir and soloists with
two pianos and harmonium, this extended setting of the Mass is one of
Rossini's last works, written decades after he'd retired from opera,
but still full of his charm, wit and endless gift for melody._
_Rossini called it "the last sin of my old age", and while its title
is ironic (it's neither little, nor particularly solemn), it still
contains music of enormous power and depth. The great fugues show an
unexpected gift for complex counterpoint, while the concluding Agnus
Dei is heartbreakingly beautiful. Audiences will be swept away!” -
Graham Abbott, October 2019_
