Reimagining Mozart (Dunedin Arts Festival)
Reimagining Mozart - Chamber Music NZ
Robert Wiremu (Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Ngāti Porou) commemorates the tragedy of Air New Zealand Flight TE901 by reimagining Mozart’s Requiem, which was left unfinished at the time of his death in 1791.
Wiremu has imagined that one of the passengers may have had a state-of-the-art Walkman containing a recording of the Requiem. At the moment of impact, the notes are carried into the Antarctic air by the winds around Ross Island, up Mt Erebus, across from the continental mainland, and over the icebergs of the surrounding seas. Fragmented, scattered, broken, the notes are often recognisable as Mozart, but not always.
Reimagining Mozart features the internationally acclaimed Voices New Zealand Chamber Choir and a chamber ensemble of instrumentalists under the direction of Voices founder and Music Director Dr Karen Grylls.
Supported by Marsh Family Charitable Trust - TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE

Graduate Choir New Zealand
GALA RECITAL DUNEDIN
We’ve been wanting to go to the deep south of New Zealand for a long time – and the choir is excited to be flying to Dunedin at the end of September to present a Gala Recital, by kind permission of the Dean. Entry is by programme at the door | eftpos will be available. $30 Adults - $25 Seniors/Students
The recital will showcase the choir over a wide range of repertoire that includes the wonderful Ave Maria of Robert Parsons, works by Antognini, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Tschesnokoff, Holst and others. New Zealand composers will be represented by choir member Chris Artley’s stunning Tupuārangi that was recently featured in the amazing Matariki Event in Holy Trinity Cathedral; and, honouring composers from Otago, the choir will perform Richard Madden’s moving Set me as a Seal – accompanied at the cathedral organ by Dunedin’s David Burchell - and the dramatic Song of Hope by Anthony Ritchie. There will be a taste of the choir’s lighter repertoire too – completing an evening of high-class choral entertainment from one of New Zealand’s premier mixed-voice ensembles.
For The Graduate Choir NZ directed by Terence Maskell, this is a long-awaited tour and we are sure that our friends in Otago – where there is a thriving choral community – will not want to miss hearing this celebrated choir in concert.
