CHOIR TO TOOR
The choir of the Oxford Terrace Baptist Church is to go on tour to Ashburton and Timaru later this month, to give week-end concerts in two churches. Under its conductor, David Sell, and with Russell Kent (organ) and James Cahill (tenor), the choir will give concerts in St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Ashburton, at 7.30 p.m. on Saturday, September 19, and in the Timaru Baptist Church the next day. The choir will also sing at the Sunday-morning service in the Timaru Baptist Church on Sunday, September 20. This will be the choir’s third trip away from home in the last four years, and its first trip south both the previous trips were to Nelson, where it gave a concert at the Nelson School of Music in 1967 and a concert in the Nelson Boys’ College hall in 1969. The choir’s repertoire is based mainly on anthems composed between about 1500 and the present. Its regular repertoire contains about 100 anthems and a number of larger works, such as cantatas.
BAR IN THEATRE Mercury Theatre liquor sales were expected to start late next month, the Auckland Theatre Trust’s chairman (Mr R. Walker) said last week.
