Choir presents Easter Banquet

The Peninsula Choir will present An Easter Banquet as its annual Easter musical presentation this year.

"The title is suggested by the first line of the ancient hymn 'The Lamb's High Banquet called to Share' which the choir will sing as it processes into the church," said publicity officer Ms Kay Williams.

"This will be followed by more fine music for Holy Week and Easter.

"As is the choir's custom, their items are drawn from many centuries, ranging from the seventh to the 20th.

"Composers represented include Tallis, Campialn, Purcell, Bach and Vaughan Williams. "There will be opportunities for audience participation.

"A highlight will be JS Bach's best loved choral work 'Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring'."

Ms Williams said there would be two presentations involving the first on Palm Sunday, April 1, in the Umina Uniting Church at 5pm, and the second on Good Friday, April 6, in St Andrew's Anglican Church at 3pm.

Both churches are on Ocean Beach Rd, Umina.
