Lessons For Our World

Lessons For Our World
Pakuranga Choral Society Concert
Conductor David Gordon writes:
“In devising this concert, I wanted to recognise that we have many faiths and belief systems that are brought together in our society. Following the structure of Nine Lessons and Carols, this concert has, in place of traditional Biblical readings, reflective readings from scientists and politicians, philosophers and mystics of the Muslim, Hindu and Christian faiths. New Zealand poets Joy Cowley and James K Baxter, and the words of Carl Sagan, Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi will also feature”.
A programme of music from the choir will support these readings, telling the Christmas story through music both modern and traditional. The first performance of a new work by David Gordon will also feature, alongside international mezzo soprano Andrea Creighton, organist Michael Bell and the Rainbow Ringers on handbells.
Sunday 11th Dec 2022. All Saints Church at 5pm. Adults $25 Seniors and tertiary students $20 School children $10 Tickets at the door (Please note starting time)
