Wellington members of NZ Youth Choir give preview of “Cloths of Heaven”

The first public performance of “He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven” took place recently in Wellington (details here). The Wellington members (pictured) received an outstanding review by Rosemary Collier, entitled “Does a cappella singing get better than this?”.

Excerpt from review: “Stephen Lange’s ‘The cloths of heaven’, composed to words of John Keats, was a difficult piece, with many enchanting discords.”

Great to see some familiar faces in this group! (Hi Penny and Juliette!)
