Once again, we have sold out of all tickets for our Christmas High Tea. All the cakes, snacks, and delicacies of a high tea, combined with cheerful and beautiful Christmas music - a celebratory way to end the year. We look forward to seeing our attendees for a lovely afternoon at Parnell Jubilee Hall, and sharing the joy of Christmas through beautiful music.

Luminata Voices is excited to bring you a fun afternoon of glitz and glamour with our next concert; “A Little Light Jazz!”

With a blend of classic numbers to contemporary pieces, Luminata Voices promises to take you through the different eras of timeless choral jazz music that will leave you harmonizing and tapping your feet long after the last note.

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon!

Be transported to a world of ethereal beauty and poignant emotions, as we explore a diverse repertoire that ranges from ancient texts to contemporary compositions.

What does it mean to be alive, knowing that life is finite?

Poignantly shaped around poetry by Bill Manhire, Sam Hunt, Chloe Honum, Ian Wedde and James K Baxter, and inspired by the visual language of acclaimed photographer, Anne Noble, this exquisite world premiere work from award-winning composer Victoria Kelly explores one of the most ancient musical forms, the Requiem, and takes it to new secular and spiritual heights.

In contemplating our existence, the natural world, and feelings of wonder, loss, longing, desire and surrender, Kelly has created an orchestral and choral work of rare beauty and power, uplifted by the magnificent voices of Simon O’Neill and Jayne Tankersley, and performed by the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra.

Ātahu – a work for taonga puoro and orchestra by Ruby Solly – is a second, much-anticipated world premiere that will be performed in the same evening. Complementing the two debuts will be performances of Debussy’s Nocturnes and one of Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder, ‘Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen’.

Pre-show talk: 6:15pm, Concert Chamber
Presented by Auckland Arts Festival and Auckland Philharmonia Orchcestra
