Arthur Honegger's colourful and exciting oratorio "King David" Auckland Choral
presents a mix of more familiar music. "King David" includes vocal soloists and
narrator to re-tell the dramatic biblical story. “King David” was devised as
theatre music for a play and in that version it shot the young composer to fame.
He later reworked the music as an oratorio with narrator.<BR> <BR>Under the
baton of new Music Director Uwe Grodd, the choir will also sing one of
Bruckner’s best-loved motets, and one of Handel's Coronation Anthems. We've also
asked top New Zealand organist to play Bach’s ever-popular "Toccata and Fugue in
D minor".<BR><BR>Ticket prices:<BR>A Reserve $45<BR>A Reserve (concession)
