These concerts had something for everyone at this festive season, with an eclectic mix of Christmas and other sacred music: ranging from our first public performances of Vivaldi's 'Gloria', through selections from Bach's 'Christmas Oratorio', to both well-known and less familiar carols, culminating with 'Hallelujah' from Handel's 'Messiah'.
Hastings Choristers Cantorus were accompanied by the recently-formed Hastings Chamber Ensemble and, in Taree, by Peter Kneeshaw, Organist Emeritus at St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney, while Cantabile presented an item in its unique a capella style. The Taree concert also featured the local choir Kantabile in their first welcome performance in association with Hastings Choristers.
