Join us for an unforgettable musical journey with “Zimbe! Come, Sing the Songs of Africa”, a vibrant celebration of African music and culture. This exhilarating choral work, composed by Alexander L'Estrange and conducted by David Burchell, brings together soulful melodies, energetic rhythms, and infectious harmonies that showcase the rich musical traditions of Africa. This song cycle is presented with the combined forces of City Choir and the Dunedin Children’s Choir, accompanied by a jazz ensemble of Bill Martin (piano), Nick Cornish (saxophone), Andy Lynch (bass), Carl Woodward (drums) and Alex Burchell (percussion).
Other items on the programme include the a cappella works “The Word Was God” by Rosephanye Powell, and “Three Spirituals” by David Hamilton.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be transported by the joyful spirit of “Zimbe!” – a concert that is perfect for all ages and will leave your heart singing and your feet tapping!
