Yes, Verdi's Requiem will definitely be a piece of cake after this! The singers and musicians enjoyed performing all the music in the concert to a very appreciative audience. It was quite a thrill seeing all the smiling faces and hearing the thundering applause! Hats off and many thanks to Christopher Marshall for a beautiful composition: For What Can Be More Beautiful?.
What the audience said:
"I very much enjoyed the concert, especially the Marshall work -- a very exciting piece; the composer made deft use of his resources."
"The Southern Sinfonia did a marvellous job with the music and the choir's singing was a pleasure to listen to."
"Why did you put a seed catalogue to music?"
"Your words were very clear - often I didn't need to read the programme to know what you were singing about."
"Loved the Hiawatha - wanted to get up and dance around with a tomahawk in my hand"
“I found Saturday night's performance by Dunedin's choir, especially the pieces before and after the interval (Marshalls and Hiawatha) were my favourites:^) Just lovely:^ Transformative! I did not want the music to end.”
"I thought the concert at Knox was splendid - it came across very well indeed, full of energy and vitality."
