Chamber choir sings
The Cambridge University Chamber Choir will perform in the Christchurch Town Hall on July 21.
The concert, which will be presented by the Christchurch Music Federation, will be the fourth in a six-concert tour of New Zealand.
The 23-strong choir is made up of undergraduates, graduate students
and fellows of a number of Cambridge colleges. It was founded by its director, Dr Richard Marlow, in 1969. Christchurch’s concert will include works by Josquin, Victoria, Schoenberg, Brahms and Kodaly. A new work by New Zealand composer Jenny McLeod, “The Courtship of the Younghy-Bonghy-Bo,” will also be sung.
This will have had its world premiere at Wellington on July 19, and was especially commissioned for the choir by the Music Federation of New Zealand.
This will be the choir’s first trip to the Southern Hemisphere, although members have performed in the United States, Canada, Japan and Europe.
