A special Christmas musical event

The Auckland Goethe Society’s 2014 Christmas event was a very special and enjoyable one - four singers from the early music group ‘Age of Discovery’ sang a special repertoire for a gathering of about 30 society members and friends.  Included were modern songs, renaissance pieces and of course some German Weihnachtslieder.

Luana Prictor, student of German and Classical Performance Voice at The University of Auckland, introduced the items, which were performed by herself (soprano), Wendy Chen (alto), tenor Lachlan Craig (tenor) and Warren Kilham (bass).

Many of us were so taken by the beauty of the singing that we went the following week to the full choir Age of Discovery’s performance “Celebration of Carols” at St Patricks Cathedral. Magnificent evenings, both of them!
