Orpheus Choir's Colossal Chorale

Orpheus Choir Wellington brings the magic of Colossal Chorale to Kāpiti.

Highlights include Parry’s majestic I Was Glad, Mozart’s serene Ave Verum Corpus, and the radiant Laudate Dominum, featuring one of our talented Orpheus Scholars. Our Scholars also shine in Haydn’s joyful The Heavens Are Telling, while dramatic moments from Mozart’s Requiem – the fiery Dies Irae, stirring Confutatis, and poignant Lacrimosa - add depth and intensity to the programme. We’re proud to include New Zealand’s own A Te Tarakihi, blending Māori haka with Western harmony. In addition to these choral gems, the performance also includes the complete Chichester Psalms by Leonard Bernstein.

A true masterpiece, Chichester Psalms is Bernstein at his best: a thrilling fusion of joyous melodies, jazzy rhythms, and heartfelt spirituality. With its evocative texts and rich harmonies, this work moves effortlessly between exuberance and quiet reflection, leaving audiences uplifted and inspired. From the soaring opening to the tender lullaby of the second movement and the triumphant finale, Chichester Psalms is a musical journey you won’t want to miss.
