MISSAE SPLENDORE is a unique choral concert born from the collaborative spirit of two regional choral groups, the Hamilton Civic Choir and Rotorua District Choir. It promises an uplifting and immersive choral experience, drawing together singers from across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty to celebrate shared artistry, community, and the beauty of collective harmony.
Anchoring the concert is a stunning selection of sacred and contemporary works, including the serene and spiritually radiant Lux Aeterna by Morten Lauridsen; and Miha, A Mass in Te Reo Māori, a sacred work that beautifully blends traditional Māori language with the structure of the mass and is composed by one of New Zealand’s very own, Takerei Komene. The programme also features Erik Esenvalds’ transcendent Lux Aeterna, Bob Chilcott’s jazzy and joyful A Little Jazz Mass, and Andy Beck’s enchanting Count the Stars.
With musical direction supported by Waikato-based collaborative pianist Chris Greenslade, a guest organist, talented instrumentalists, and standout local soloists, MISSAE SPLENDORE promises a special afternoon of music.
