Octavius Choir welcomes the start of Spring, imagining plants bursting with new life, and activities like evening walks and picnics.. This concert program evokes these ideas with a brilliant selection of songs, You will enjoy dreamy jazz favourites like “Mr Sandman”, “Somewhere over the Rainbow” and “A Nightingale Sang…” and the inspired imagining of golden moonlight in Eric Whittaker’s “Lux Aurumque”
The beauty of new life in the natural world is celebrated in an international selection; “Earth Song”, by American Frank Ticheli, traditional Irish songs “The Lark in the Clear Air” and "Londonderry Air” and - a special highlight = a new song by Hawke's’ Bay composer Stephen Lange: “Poipoia te Kakano” (nurture the seed and it will grow) was inspired by the spinning Apple Core sculpture in Hastings city. It speaks of the cyclic energy of rebirth, regeneration and resilience in nature. Octavius has sole performing rights for this composition during 2025. New energy can create fun and frivolity, so the choir invites you to enjoy “The Teddy Bears Picnic”, but “Don’t Sit under the Apple Tree” and make sure you “Ain’t Misbehaving!”
Do come, and bring a friend or two!
Entry $25 (concession $20), under 14 years, free. Pay at the door using cash or EFTPOS.
