Mozart Mass in C Minor

As our first offering of the four concerts planned for Camerata in 2021, this concert centres on Mozart’s “Great” Mass in C Minor, considered one of the maestro’s finest works. 

With Matthew Howes as conductor and Janet Gibbs accompanying on the piano, the choir sings this complex, melodic and interesting work in four and eight parts.  We are delighted that Morag Atchison, one of New Zealand’s leading sopranos, will perform as our principal soprano soloist and Sophia Yang will join her as the second soprano soloist. 

Further guests will be Sid Chand (tenor) and Dragan Atanasov (bass).  To begin the evening, the programme features three other of Mozart’s great and well-loved pieces: Ave Verum Corpus, Laudate Dominum and Exultate Jubilate. 

All in all, this will be a concert of magnificent works, sung with great pleasure in what we hope will be an uninterrupted year of music. 

There will be a raffle and afterwards, supper in the hall as usual.  Get your tickets through the website or from a choir member, or at the door on the night of the performance.

Do come along – we’d love to see you there.

Where:  St George’s Presbyterian Church, 2 The Terrace, Takapuna
