ANZACS - A Concert of Commemoration

ANZACS - A Concert of Commemoration features the combined choirs of Holy Trinity Cathedral, Auckland and the Graduate Choir NZ with vocal soloists, brass quintet, violin and percussion directed by Michael Stoddart and Terence Maskell.

Featuring music by Faure, Artley, Ireland, Hamilton, Guest, Ramsey and Parry. The major musical work of the evening is the NZ premiere of a musical setting of New Zealand poetry compiled by composer Janet Jennings, from poems written during and subsequent to World War I.

The composition and musical preparation of this work were partially funded by Creative New Zealand as a WW100 Centenary Project for initial presentations in Sydney (July 2016), Newcastle (August 2016) and for this performance in Auckland's Holy Trinity Cathedral.
