Margaret Medlyn and Wade Kernot perform with Orpheus Choir Wellington
Orpheus Choir Wellington are performing at Wellington Cathedral of Saint Paul on Saturday 7 August at 7.30pm and on Sunday 8 August at Kapiti Coastlands Theatre/ Te Raukura ki Kapiti
I Was Glad is a programme of two halves. Accompanied by an instrumental ensemble, the programme first explores awe-inspiring works from Parry’s glorious anthem, I Was Glad, to Hopkin’s mysterious Past Life Melodies featuring harmonic overtone singing.
To finish, Orpheus Choir Wellington is thrilled to bring together soprano Barbara Paterson, mezzo Margaret Medlyn, and bass Wade Kernot in a performance of Szymanowski’s masterpiece, Stabat Mater. This work combines traditional liturgical text with Polish folk music, fluctuating between powerful drama and poignant sorrow.
