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.
