Concert by Cellists of Otago.

Sunday March 14th, 2010

Cellists of Otago.
A cello choir made up of fourteen of our finest cellists will offer a concert of cello music on Sunday 14 March at 3pm in the Mornington Church.
The concert last year by this talented and unusual group drew a packed house, and this concert will do so again. The music the cellists and their accompanists will play ranges from classics like Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Bartok and the great cellist Pablo Casals to arrangements of traditional tunes like Lord of the Dance and the Londonderry Air.
A special feature will be new compositions by young Dunedin composer and performer Corwin Newall, whose work has already been played by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. But the real highlight will be the playing of the massed cellists: a stunningly beautiful and rich sound.
Admission is by programme ($10) and profits will go to the Wesley Village Project -- another reason for coming along.
