Combo of Plett Choir, Kirkland, Brouckaert and Hall-Green promises incredible entertainment
Night of the Father’s Love – also known as ‘The Awe and Mystery of God within Us’ – composed by PepperChoplin, is being performed by the Plett Choir at St Thomas Methodist Church on Sunday.
Under the baton of Robyn Brouckaert, the Plett Choir comprises 29 local singers who have been practising for this particular occasion, which also serves as a fundraiser for Hospice Plett, since the beginning of the year.
Says PlettAid/Hospice Plett vice-chair Annabelle Conyngham: “This concert will inaugurate the Christmas celebrations with a modern interpretation of the classic Christmas story, and traditional carols interweaved into the fabric of this contemporary composition.
“The profound words match the beauty of the music. I’ve been attending some of the choir practices and has found the music delightful to the ear and the dedication of the choir, Robyn, and accompanist Jill Kirkland most uplifting.”
She adds that Jill Kirkland has also inserted into the programme, the song Mary Jul you Know?, which was co-written by Mark Lowry and Buddy Green – “a most expressive song which the Plett Choir so enjoys singing!”
Hospice Plett extends grateful thanks to the reverend Tim Rist of St Thomas Methodist Church, Jill Kirkland. Robyn Brouckaert and narrator David Hall-Green, and all the members of the choir for their dedication and support of this fundraising concert.
The performance takes place at St Thomas Methodist Church on December 8 at 6 pm (doors open 5:30 pm). Tickets at R200 (R100 for students and children) can be bought from The Market Square Info Centre (ailI Barnie Barnard on 082 744 1884) or at the door on the night.
