This week the Columba College Senior Madrigal Choir 'Cantus Columba' performed at the annual Big Sing competition at the Dunedin Town Hall.

It was an amazing experience to represent the school with GRACE through choral music. This year the choir's repertoire included the following three pieces,

For Ann Gregory- Philip Norman

Herbstlied- Robert Schumann

Les Trois Belles Demoiselles- Pauline Viardot, text Lois Pomey

Whilst we did not come away with a trophy this year, we look forward to hearing which choirs have been selected to represent Otago in the next round. We would like to thank the recent choir alumnae who came along to support us during the competition, our amazing conductor Miss Courtney Hickmott for the hours of work she has put into teaching the pieces and refining our sound. We  also thank our pianist for the competition Ms Sharon McLennan and our night pianist Miss Olivia Pike.
