Henderson Methodist Church

Join the Waitakere Voices as they explore music that is heard as something more than its surface suggests.
This concert poses a simple question: Between the lines of music and interpretation, what happens to music once it leaves the composer’s hands?
Some songs say exactly what they mean. Others become something far bigger, or stranger, than their creators ever intended.
Songs become symbols of protest or identity, and audiences hear messages that may or may not have been intended.
This programme explores music whose meaning has been shaped, reshaped, projected onto, or transformed by listeners, culture, history, and context.
What you’ll hear
Among others, we will feature music by:
Mozart, Fauré, Sibelius, Verdi, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Billie Eilish, Joy Oladokun, and traditional folk music pieces.
The choir will sing pieces in English, French, Italian, Bosnian, and Icelandic.
