Its Solid Gold concert on November 15 to celebrate Taupō Choral’s 50th anniversary will be the group’s largest and most audacious concert in many years, say organisers.
The first half of the concert will be a selection from ‘The Messiah’ and will feature acclaimed soprano and vocal tutor for the New Zealand Youth Choir, Dr Morag Atchison, performing the arias.
The second half content will be a series of Solid Gold hits from 50 years of concerts and include a song especially written for the event by musical director David Hamilton.
Members have chosen pieces that they have enjoyed singing or that they know will appeal to a really general audience, says Taupō Choral Society committee member Vince Wright.
The choir of 25 to 30 local singers will be bolstered by past members who have moved out of town to other centres around the North Island.
The group will also be releasing a special ‘collectors’ edition’ 50th anniversary program available only through attending the concert.
