Michael Tippett’s oratorio A Child of Our Time wasn’t simply inspired by social injustice, persecution and conflict, it was written in the thick of these things – begun and finished during World War II.

Sydney Philharmonia Choirs pairs this modern classic inspired by the Passions of Bach, oratorios of Handel and Afro-American spirituals, with two new works featuring youth choir VOX.
