Pleased to share that there was a packed audience at Auckland Youth Choir’s recent concert at St-Matthew-in-the-City.
My piece Let My Country Awake opened the programme. I was asked to do a short intro before the performance which was definitely a step out of the comfort zone for this introverted composer but a challenge is always good! It was a new experience for me to sing my own work and I hope I get the chance to do it again sometime.
I’m thrilled that AYC chose to perform my work and it was lovely to sing three other new works by young Kiwi composers who are also in the choir.
Looking forward to my next musical outing later this month in Wellington with the NZSO.
