Overview of this event
Join Orange Regional Museum to experience the Dunera Mass in a special collaboration with the Orange Regional Conservatorium’s Symphonic Choir, performed amongst Orange Regional Museum’s exhibition Enemy Aliens: the Dunera boys in Orange, 1941.
This is an opportunity to hear this choral work performed perhaps for the first time since 1941. The Dunera Mass is one of a few newly re-discovered manuscripts composed by internee Max-Peter Meyer aboard the HMT Dunera and performed while detained in Hay, Orange and Tatura.
Max-Peter Meyer (1892-1950) was one of many musicians among the Dunera boys, and went on to become a professor and Fellow of the London College of Music after leaving Australia.
Bookings are encouraged but not essential.
