"The Seasons"
2.30pm Sunday
20 November 2011
at St Andrews on the Terrace, Wellington
Featuring:
Lesley Graham - Soprano
James Adams - Tenor
Roger Wilson - Bass
with members of:
The Wellington Chamber Orchestra
This is Haydn’s last major composition, describing the four seasons with all their delights.
A wonderfully lyrical and inventive work with a lot of imagery depicting scenes of rustic country living, The Seasons is not often performed, due in part to the rather quaint English libretto which has been adapted for this performance. The three soloists represent a farmer, his daughter and another young farmer. The choruses on themes such as the sun, a storm, sleep, toil, spinning, the hunt and a wily young girl are great fun.
We are delighted to give you the opportunity to hear this delightful work, and would love to welcome you to our concert!
You can buy tickets from choir members or at the door
