Pre-concert talk 7.15pm
National War Memorial
Buckle St
Wellington
Directed by Alastair Carey
Victoria's parody mass on the themes of Guerrero's motet Simile est Regnum Coelorum is one of his most beautiful full mass settings. This intimate performance by a reduced voice ensemble (reflecting the small size of Victoria's choir) will be given in the intimate acoustic of the newly refurbished Chapel of Remembrance at the National War Memorial.

"The choir produced a beautifully balanced, floating sound enhanced, as always, by impeccable intonation and wonderfully shaped phrasing and cadences."
