Macann class
Bass singer, Rodney Macann, will present a master class on the performance of songs taken from, the operatic, oratorio and lieder repertoires. He will work with a group of promising young singers.
Rodney Macann gained his early singing training in Christchurch before travelling to London to join the 8.8. C. Singers in the late 19605. Since then he has established himself as one of the finest bass singers in Britain, performing regularly as soloist with the leading British choirs and orchestras. His performance in the role of Christus in
Bach’s St Matthew Passion has for many years been regarded as one of the finest in Britain. During the last few years Rodney Macann has moved increasingly into opera. His performance in the title role of Tippett’s “King Priam” was very highly acclaimed. He recently appeared in the Royal Christchurch Musical Society’s “Nabucco” concert. The master class will be held from 7.30 p.m. to 9.30 p.m. tomorrow at the University of Canterbury School of Music.
