Kapiti Chorale will be joined by Voices in the Wind, Eric Sidoti's new choir from Mana. We have an exciting programme of spirituals with a little bit of gospel, from the genre of American folk music of the south. Religious hymns, work songs, and traditional African rhythms and chanting styles all contributed, often with messages that plantation owners didn't understand. The feature work, by Linda Twine, is the heartfelt and dynamic Cantata Changed my Name, based on the story of the journey to freedom by American slaves.
Our soloists include three Vocal Award winners, Michaela Cadwegan, Alexandra Woodhouse Appleby, Joseph Haddow, with Jamie Young.
