The Kapiti Chorale's next concert will showcase modern compositions of medieval themes.  The interesting contrast between the two main works is guaranteed to engage the audience.  Whilst Edward Elgar's The Black Knight tells the story of a sinister stranger intruding into a king's court, John Rutter's The Reluctant Dragon is based on the delightful children's tale involving a boy, a poetry-loving dragon and St. George.  Whether bouyant and entertaining or mysterious and ominous, the music expertly conveys the various moods. 

These two works will be complemented by numerous smaller "in theme" pieces, with compositions as diverse as a Double Trouble by John Williams (from the Harry Potter series) and songs by Henry Purcell, amongst others.

The audience is sure to enjoy this varied, interesting and entertaining concert.

The conductor is Eric Sidoti, Music Director of the Kapiti Chorale
