Channel: Exaudi
Date: 10/12/2020

Circles and Lines is a song cycle, written by Juliana Kay and the choirs of Young Voices of Melbourne, composed collaboratively during the virtual rehearsals of 2020. The prompt: "Choir is like..."

Exaudi was founded in 2007 by Claire Preston and Robert Stewart and quickly established itself as one of Melbourne's leading young choirs. Exaudi tours regularly, both in Australia and overseas, and performs frequently in and around Melbourne.

In 2013, Exaudi became part of Young Voices of Melbourne. It is conducted by Mark O'Leary and Juliana Kay.

Exaudi takes its name from the Latin word meaning "listen to us" or "understand us". The choir seeks to "fill the gap" between choristers' experiences in their community or school children's choirs and adult community choirs.
