On 10 October the choir and organists of St Columba's Church, Parkview held their third and final concert for 2012. The theme of the evening was "Music of the Great Cathedrals" and the concert basically followed the outline of the standard Anglican services held on a Sunday.
The choir performed choral works by modern English composers as well as stalwarts like JS Bach. The concert included the premiere of Nic Redelinghuys' French mass as well as a beautifully performed piece by the French composer Viernne.
It was concluded with participation by the audience in the singing of some favourite hymns and deemed a great success by all who had attended. The evening ended with a cheese and wine and socialising in the church hall.
