The Vincent Project
Through the vision of Clare Finlayson, The Vincent Project involved Australian composers creating new choral works for mixed voice choirs in response to paintings by Vincent van Gogh. The six compositions were commissioned and written between 2021 and 2024 and first performances given by the choir for which they were written Resonance of Birralee.
