Ars Nova Choir Sings Messa Di Gloria

To mark 100 years since the composer's death, Ars Nova Choir presents Puccini's powerful and melodic "Messa di Gloria", a lesser-known sacred work showcasing his extraordinary youthful ambition, written before Puccini became the renowned operatic maestro we all know and love. Accompanied by Ars Antiqua Chamber Orchestra and directed by Christopher J. Luke, we are also delighted to welcome back our two highly accomplished guest soloists from Wellington, John Beaglehole and Roger Wilson. Doors open at 1pm. Complimentary light refreshments to follow the concert.
