(The Midlands Chamber Choir & the
Pietermaritzburg City Orchestra)
The
Pietermaritzburg City Orchestra is hosting its annual festive season concert, Noel 2016, in collaboration with the
Midlands Chamber Choir on November 26 at the Hilton College Theatre.
This will
be the second time that the choir and orchestra have joined forces in what will
hopefully become a standard for Pietermaritzburg and the KZN Midlands.
Audiences
can expect favourite tunes, including Leroy Anderson’s Christmas Festival and Sleigh
Ride, as well as beautiful carols like John Rutter’s Shepherd’s Pipe Carol and The
Very Best Time of Year. This year also marks the third time to feature a
new composition by the orchestra’s own Peter van der Merwe, with his 15 Variations on St Thomas Wake, an old
English carol, which is sure to delight audience members with an appreciation
for music with a more classical feel.
The
concert promises to be a delight to both old and young, and would be a perfect
opportunity to introduce the little ones to orchestral music.
Noel 2016 takes place on November 26 at 19h00 at
the Hilton College Theatre. Tickets R120 (R100 pensioners and R50 children
under 12). Book online at http://www.hiltontheatre.co.za or by contacting the theatre box
office at 033 383 0126.
The venue
has secure parking, and refreshments will be on sale during the interval.
