LIEDERTAFEL CONCERT

Mana performed 2 solo pieces: a flute piece by Faure accompanied by her sister Cheena and then played a saxophone solo in the second half. Our combo played ” A Child is Born” and “At Last”. Our choir sung “From Pastures Green” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” ending with “Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth” which was combined with the Liedertafel men’s choir!
Jazz Band, Irish band and singers performed a mixture of regular repertoire and Christmas music for the Pegasus Ladies Probus special Christmas end of year function on Monday Morning at the Rawhiti Golf Course.
