Matakantata, which formed in 2009, sings in three and four part harmony, and sings all the styles from classical to contemporary, pop, blues and gospel.
It’s time to dust off your silver bells and party dresses and get along to “A Christmas Cracker” performed by the entertaining Matakantata Choir.
Joining the choir on stage will be a number of talented accompanists including Colin Jarvis, Vaughan Morgan, Lyn Dasher, Fiona Longuett-Higgins and Sara Jones. Choir director Susan Hayday has selected a wide variety of music ranging from American folk ballads to Tchaikovsky and the chillingly beautiful O Magnum Mysterium.
This year Matakantata is raising funds for the Matakana Village Hall electrical upgrade. This will enable the hall to host more exciting events like the recent Matakana Variety Performance and the Black Grace dance troupe.
The concerts will be at the Matakana Village Hall on Friday December 11, starting at 7.30pm, and at the Mahurangi Presbyterian Church in Warkworth on Sunday December 13, starting at 2.30pm.
Tickets are available from the Gull Service Station in Matakana and Lee & Hart Pharmacy in Warkworth (adults $15/children gold coin), or phone Jenni Francis on 423 0094.
The choir practises on Wednesday evenings at the Matakana School Hall, from 7pm.
