MONTEVERDI VESPERS
14 & 15 August 2010
St. Mary of the Angels
Wellington
Chris sings bass as one of 10 solo voices with Baroque Voices as part of Musica Sacra‘s performance of the 400th anniversary of the Monteverdi Vespers.
These performances mark the 400th anniversary of the publication of this famous work, which is brought to life by ten virtuoso solo singers and an array of period instruments, including cornetti, sackbuts, Baroque strings, two pipe organs and theorbos.
Chris sang with Voices New Zealand Chamber Choir in this epic performance of Mahler’s 8th Symphony, dubbed the “Symphony of 1000” due to the large number of performers needed to present it, to open the 2010 New Zealand International Arts Festival in Wellington last night.
A very large New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, conducted by world-renowned conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy, was accompanied by 7 soloists and 5 choirs: Voices New Zealand Chamber Choir, New Zealand Youth Choir, Christchurch City Choir, Orpheus Choir of Wellington and the Choristers of Wellington Cathedral of St Paul.
