The Durban Chamber Choir presents: Hail and Farewell
The Durban Chamber Choir presents: Hail and Farewell
Church of the Ascension, Hilton: Sun 10 November at St Thomas Musgrave and Sunday 17 November
The ever creative and proactive Durban Chamber Choir will be presenting two glorious spring concerts over two weekends in Hilton at the Church of the Ascension, Sunday 10 November and in Durban on Sunday 17 November under the baton of Dr Christopher Cockburn entitled "Hail and Farewell"
Hail and Farewell translates a famous phrase from the Latin poet Catullus, 'Ave atque vale.' In its original context, 'farewell' had the greater emphasis, because the 'hailing' was a salutation to someone who had died. However, in the Durban Chamber Choir's November programme the joy of meeting and the sadness of parting are equally present as the singers explore the rich variety of music that takes up these two themes.
There will be two performances over two consecutive Sundays: Church of the Ascension, Hilton: Sunday 10 Nov at 15h00 and St Thomas Musgrave, Sunday 17 Nov at 15h00. In both cases, tickets at the door: R70 admission and R40 pensioners and children. Please join the choir after the performances for tea, cake and conversation.
