For his final concert as Music Director of Auckland Choral, Peter Watts has chosen two fascinating works both of which were given their New Zealand premi?res by Auckland Choral.
 
Andrew Carter's Benedicite was introduced to New Zealand by Peter in 1994 and includes three delightfully quirky movements for children's choir. The traditional prayer book ?text sits alongside jaunty additions for the young voices.
 
By contrast, the choir gave the first Auckland performance of Beethoven's Mass in C in 1867. This year's revival of a long neglected Mass continues Peter's policy of giving opportunities to some of New Zealand's younger soloists.
