Choir strikes contemporary note

Matakantata Choir will present “Aim for the Stars”, a winter concert to raise funds for Adults in Motion (AIM).

AIM provides day programmes for young adults with intellectual disabilities in Warkworth.
The concert will feature lighter and more contemporary music, and will include songs choir members have especially enjoyed singing.

Some are from musicals, and some are pop songs.

Featured music will include Seal Lullaby by modern composer Eric Whitacre and Hine e Hine, with soloist Yvonne Holdgate.

Joining the choir will be Fiona Strathern on piano, Evelyn Dashper on violin and Vaughan Morgan on guitar and drums.

The conductor will be choir director Susan Hayday.

Venues and times: Warkworth Presbyterian Church, Sunday July 30 at 2.30pm; Matakana Hall, Friday August 4 at 7.30pm.

Tickets are available from Hart Pharmacy, Gull Matakana or phone Jenni 423 0094. Pre-purchased tickets are $15 or $20 at the door.
