If you’re in the Bay of Plenty during the first couple of weekends in September, you’re in for some sonic treats.

On Saturday 7 and Sunday 8, The Edgecumbe Choir will be performing Haydn’s masterwork The Creation in Whakatane.

And the following weekend, chamber choir Scholars Baroque Aotearoa presents Schumann’s Requiem and Mendelssohn’s Psalm 42 (Mount Maunganui and Whakatane).

RNZ Concert’s Bryan Crump caught up with music director of both ensembles, Chalium Poppy, to talk about the concerts.
