Handel's Messiah

Handel’s perennial favourite “Messiah” features in Pakuranga Choral Society’s first concert for 2021. Following only a single concert in 2020, the choir is looking forward to their usual programme of three concerts this year. The choir sings part 1 of “Messiah” which contains the music related to Christmas. For this performance, the choir is joined by four exciting young soloists from the university who will each also sing a solo item. The first half of the concert will be “A Mass for the Community of St Luke” by conductor David Hamilton. This recent work, commissioned by St Luke’s Church in Remuera, takes a fresh perspective on the traditional mass. Organist Michael Bell joins the choir for this programme of sacred music.
