Kowhai Singers Community Choir

Marion & Robert from Mahurangi North

The Kowhai Singers are very excited to bring a stunning and rarely heard performance of Haydn’s Maria Theresa Mass. It is an extraordinarily beautiful piece of choral music, with fugues, arias, florid bel canto lines, and dramatic contrasts. All supported with a world-class line up of soloists and accompanists. Secure your ticket to avoid disappointment.
