TO PERFORM

Nota Bene is Wellington’s most versatile chamber choir, with a reputation for innovative programming and high performance standards. Under the musical directorship of Maaike Christie-Beekman, the ensemble performs a wide range of choral music, from classical through to contemporary art music and jazz. 

Nota Bene Chamber Choir requests the pleasure of your company at:

 

The Wedding of Liesl and Duncan

 

You are cordially invited to the most dramatic, musical, and slightly chaotic wedding of the season! Witness the union of Duncan (a free-spirited Kiwi backpacker) and Liesl (a formidable German bride) as their two families—and their very different cultures—collide in glorious harmony.


Written and directed by Jacqueline Coats, and with soloists Robert Tucker and Barbara Paterson, and accompanists Heather Easting and Emma Sayers, you will experience the highs and lows of their love story, expressed through the melodies of the Liebeslieder Walzer and other German art songs. After all, what better way to tell a love story than through Brahms and friends?

 

Musical Director: Maaike Christie-Beekman
