CONCERT goers can enjoy a programme of music of the night when the Durban Chamber Choir (DCC) presents Nocturne, its latest programme of choral classics, at St Thomas’s Anglican Church, Musgrave, on Sunday, 4 November from 3pm.
The concert sees DCC performing a wide-ranging repertoire conducted by Dr Christopher Cockburn, the choir’s director.
The programme will include music by among others, , Johannes Brahms, Sir Edward Elgar, and Arvo Pärt.

Also included are striking settings of the Evening Canticles: Arvo Pärt’s mesmerizing ‘Magnificat’ and Christopher Cockburn’s own ‘Song of Mary’ and ‘Song of Simeon’ which draw on elements from minimalist, African and impressionist styles. Cockburn will also play Louis Vierne’s fleeting and slightly sinister organ piece ‘Feux Follets’, an evocation of the dancing light that draws night-travellers away from safe paths.
Refreshments will be served after the concert. Tickets are available at the door from 2pm, and admission to the venues is from 2.30pm. Tickets are R70 each, concessions R40. Contact nicole@ngolawsa.co.za.
