Choir performs for Easter

The Peninsula Choir will perform at the Umina Uniting Church and St Andrew's Anglican Church as part of Easter celebrations on the Peninsula.

Choir director Mr Ivan Kinny said the two performances would reflect the whole Easter story in music and poetry of the highest quality.

"A highlight will be the Brother James' Air, one of the best-loved settings of Psalm 23 The Lord Is My Shepherd," Mr Kinny said.

"The music is by James Macbeth of Scotland, popularly known as Brother James.

"Items will include gems such as If Ye Love Me by Thomas Tallis, Thou Knowest Lord by Henry Purcell and Vaughn William's Coronation motet O Taste and See, as well as chorales by JS Bach.

"As always there will be opportunities for audience participation."

The program will be presented at Umina Uniting Church on Palm Sunday, April 5, and St Andrew's Anglican Church on Good Friday, April 10.

Both performances begin from 3pm.
