To commemorate the Centenary of the Battle
of Villers-Bretonneux in France on 25 April 1918, Hastings Choristers
presented this choral tribute to
the courage, resourcefulness and sacrifice of Australian soldiers on the
Western Front and at Gallipoli during World War One.
The programme (see left) featured the moving
'In Flanders Fields' and Gabriel Fauré’s 'Requiem'
as well as other beautiful choral pieces and instrumental music.
The choir was notably under-pinned by
former members (now professional performers) mezzo-soprano Stella Hannock and baritone Joshua Salter, accompanied by
well-known international organist Heather Moen-Boyd.
