ICONIC - new date announcement

Hoping very much that everyone has got the message that tonight’s concert had been POSTPONED.

We can now announce that the new date of the concert will be Saturday 24 July. Same time of 7.30 (pre-concert talk at 7pm) at Wellington Cathedral of St Paul.

Any tickets purchased online can be redeemed for the new date. If you are unable to attend the new date, please do get in touch with us at feedback@tudor-consort.org.nz.

Our apologies for this postponement - we do hope you understand and that we see you in a little under a month’s time.

In the meantime, you may like to hear this interview that I conducted by phone with RNZ’s Upbeat programme on Wednesday which gives some background to the concert.

ICONIC - notice of postponement

23 June 2021

Following today’s COVID-19 update, we have made the decision to postpone our ICONIC concert, part of The Tudor Consort’s 2021 Performance Series. This concert was scheduled for Saturday 26 June 2021 at 7.30pm.

This postponement is in response to today’s Government announcement that the Wellington region is moving to Covid-19 Alert Level 2 from 6pm tonight (Wednesday 23 June 2021) until 11.59pm on Sunday (27 June 2021). Alert Level 2 means that gatherings are limited to fewer than 100 people.

We know that many of you were looking forward to enjoying this beautiful concert of Russian music, as was every one of our performers. We care deeply about the safety of our audience, hence why we have decided to postpone this concert.

We’re working hard to organise another date for this concert. Your tickets will be valid for the new date when it is confirmed. We will communicate this new date via email and our social media channels.

We look forward to presenting this programme of sumptuous choral music soon when Covid-19 alert levels permit.

Stay safe and best regards,
Michael Stewart

The Tudor Consort in 2021

Kia ora koutou katoa! We are back and rehearsing for our first concert of 2021 - Music for Holy Week - which will take place on Good Friday April 2.

Due to the uncertainty of these Covid times, we are NOT offering a Subscription for our concerts this year, but each will be a stand-alone concert. This allows us to avoid a situation where we are unable to honour cancelled concerts due to lockdowns, as happened last year.

We do however have an interesting year of music planned: after our Good Friday performance, we will tackle works by John Tavener, Arvo Pärt, Sergei Rachmaninov and Georgy Sviridov in a programme named ICONIC, scheduled for Saturday June 26. 2021 marks the 500th anniversary of the deaths of Josquin Desprez and Robert Fayrfax, and we will present a programme of music from these two illustrious composers on Saturday August 14.

We have two more concerts planned for later in the year too, so stay tuned!
