CANTANDO CHOIR - ANZAC Reflections for ANZAC Day.

Category: Social event

When: Sunday, 25 April 2010

Time: 2.30pm

Where: Chapel of Christ the King - St Paul's

This concert has given us the opportunity to introduce exciting young Tenor, David Holmes, Old Collegian, St Paul’s Collegiate School, to Waikato audiences.  David, who has been studying Performance Voice under Judy Bellingham at the University of Otago, will perform solos and also lead the sing-along of popular wartime favourites - Songs that Won the War as they are sometimes labeled.

Returning for this year’s concert, by popular demand, is the Hamilton City Brass Ensemble under the leadership of trumpeter Clive Burnell.  In addition to playing the poignant Retreat and Last Post, Clive leads the group when they play a march and a medley of swing music.

This year, interspersed with the musical items, Merilyn Manley-Harris, a member of Cantando, will read three of the fine poems written during the war years.
