On Saturday 3 June, our premier mixed choir Choralation collaborated with the Auckland Chamber Choir and University of Auckland Orchestra in a concert titled ‘Gloriana’. The concert program included works that are traditionally performed for the Coronation such as ‘Zadok the Priest’ by Handel and ‘I was Glad’ by Parry. The Auckland Chamber Choir and University Orchestra is directed by Jono Palmer (past maths teacher at WGHS) and many of the current members are previous Westlake music students. Choralation, directed by HOD Fiona Wilson, also performed a piece by Gibbons independently, and enjoyed singing in the beautiful acoustic of St Matthews in the City.
