To round out a triumphant return to performances this year, Bach Musica NZ presents the Best of Bach at the Auckland Town Hall on 11 December, including a New Zealand premiere.
The concert opens with the NZ premiere of the composer’s Flute Concerto in e minor, played by internationally acclaimed Italian flutist Luca Manghi, followed by Bach’s Violin Concerto in E Major, with Bach Musica NZ’s concertmaster Yanghe Yu as soloist.
Performing alongside Bach Musica NZ’s highly acclaimed choir and orchestra and conductor Rita Paczian is soprano Elizabeth Mandeno, alto Wendy Dawn Thompson, tenor Iain Tetley and baritone James Harrison, for a concert brimming with festive delight.
This December’s exuberant programme also includes Bach’s Jauchzet, frohlocket, the famous opening chorus of his Christmas Oratorio. As the grand finale, you will enjoy his jubilant Magnificat, one the composer’s most popular works, scored for four vocal soloists, five-part chorus and large Baroque orchestra, including three majestic trumpets.
Bach Musica will also hold their final 2022 workshop, the highly popular Singing Workshop, on Saturday, 29 October at Somervell Presbytarian Church. The day will feature Schubert’s Mass in G Major, which will give singers of all ages and abilities a chance to brush up on essential singing techniques and the exciting opportunity to sing alongside members of the acclaimed chorus of Bach Musica.
