"SYMMETRY: The Cycle of Life"
Sunday, 5 November, 2017
3:00 pm
St. Andrew's on the Terrace (30 The Terrace)
featuring Blue Notes from Tawa College (Isaac Stone, director)
Inspirare, Wellington's professional choir, is looking forward to its final concert of the 2017 season: SYMMETRY. The last programme will be titled, "The Cycle of Life" and will look at life and death through the metaphors of winter and spring. Inspirare has traditionally sung only individual anthems, but this concert will feature two cycles of music: "Mid-winter Songs" by Morton Lauridsen and "Suite de Lorca" by Einojuhani Rautavaara. Each selection will focus on an aspect of winter or spring and will demonstrate the feelings, joys, and trials of these wonderful, yet transitional seasons.
On the programme, there will also 2 world premieres, "Afternoon on a Hill" and a new commission by Inspirare, "If I Could Give" by Jeffrey Derus. The commission will tie together all the aspects of death and life into one single moment with choir, piano and cello.
The concert will conclude with the singing of "The Promise of Living" from "The Tender Land", an opera by Aaron Copland.
Each concert this season, we have featured an outstanding college choir, and this concert will be no different. Blue Notes from Tawa College, under the direction of Isaac Stone (one of our singers), will present several pieces throughout the programme and will join Inspirare for the final selection.
