2022 Events

 Joy: 
​
Vivaldi’s Gloria and songs of celebration 

Saturday 15 October | Alan Gibbs Centre, Wellington College | 7.30pm

Picture
Supertonic's second concert for 2022 featured the uplifting Gloria in D Major by Antonio Vivaldi as the opener followed by a feast of feel-good choral works from around the world.

Divided into 12 brief movements, the well-known Gloria is a joyful hymn of praise and worship that takes the listener on a journey of rejoicing to profound sadness and back again. Its distinctive opening chorus will be familiar to many, leading into a mixture of gorgeous soprano solos and duets, still and solemn movements and Vivaldi’s masterful instrumental countermelodies that feature throughout. Rich and rewarding, the Gloria is as enjoyable to sing as it is to experience in the audience. 

Some familiar favourites from past concerts reappeared and catchy tunes from the worlds of jazz and pop closed out the concert.

North:

Picture

 At Pipitea Marae Supertonic commemorated the groundswell of change we have caused to the Earth and to celebrate the groundswell of momentum from people eager to solve those environmental issues.

From the waters of Aotearoa to the Mongolian steppe,  Australian rainforests, and North African desert, the audience’s journey spanned the world.  Through music and accompanying kōrero, Groundswell explored the environmental issues of our time, and the global and local challenges that make addressing these issues so complicated.

 Space - 16 September 2018
​​SOLD OUT

Supertonic, together with ELIM, went where no choir has gone before (probably) with Space: A Choral Odyssey, one-night-only at Hannah Playhouse, Wellington, 6:30pm Sunday 16 September 2018.

Even before tohunga kōkōrangi used the night sky to navigate great distances across the ocean to Aotearoa New Zealand, people have been fascinated with the stars. Space took the audience on a multimedia, musical journey through time and space, exploring the wonder and mystery of what lies beyond Papatūānuku.

​We presented this programme of works by women in honour and celebration of those who created art in the shadows of their male counterparts. Hosted by Clarissa Dunn, the audience heard not only the music of under-appreciated composers, but also their stories, and what held them back from their dreams.
