“To Music” – A Choral Celebration
Our next concert on Sun 13 September 2026 at 1.30pm is a fabulous affair with wonderful choral masterpieces in a celebration entitled “To Music”. It will feature choirs from all over the Franklin region, including the award-winning CAMA and Majors’n’ Minors ensembles, Clevedon Crooners from Clevedon School, and Tuakau College Choir. A Choral Extravaganza indeed 🙂 🎶🎵 (And yes, that iconic song by Schubert IS on the programme – in a 3-part arrangement… An die Musik)
