Concert Review: Festival Brings Choral Treat A welcome visit from the Choir and Orchestra of the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament Christchurch, which performed early on Sunday evening in St John the Baptist church Alexandra, made an attractive addition to the musical diversions of Blossom Festival weekend. With them was the Dunedin choral group Cantores, singing three numbers notable for their precision and clarity. The well-filled church warmly responded to a Handel Organ Concerto and and early Schubert Mass in C Major for soloists and choir in a concert that opened with the lovely unaccompanied Ave Maria by Arcadelt. Cesar Franck's Panis Angelicus, Mozart, Brahms and Bruckner were also represented, all reinforcing the impression of sensitive choral singing notable for dynamic control and tonal shading under the direction of Don Whelan.
