Sentimental Journey

"The audience enjoyed an untroubled, funny, simpler world, tinged with nostalgia, sustained by Geoff Robinson’s subtle balancing of style and substance and excellent singing"
– Lindis Taylor, Dominion Post, 18 June 2007

Don’t miss Wellington’s most innovative vocal ensemble, Nota Bene. Their Wellington performance of Sentimental Journey was a sell-out, and the choir now brings this ‘old-time Saturday night request show’ to the Nelson School of Music.
Geoff Robinson, from Radio New Zealand’s Morning Report, will guide you on a Sentimental Journey around the world, with music by Gershwin, Cole Porter, Debussy, Vaughan Williams and many more.
Directed by Jacqueline Coats (director of Wellington's Nimby Opera production of Janacek's The Cunning Little Vixen) the show also features singer Joanne Hodgson (well known to Nelson audiences) and pianist Julie Coulson in a collection of jazz standards, with Irish fiddle tunes from Oscar Bullock.
"This concert will appeal to lovers of choral, jazz and folk music alike. Our audience can sit back, relax and let us transport them to another time and place," says musical director Christine Argyle, a presenter with Radio New Zealand Concert.
Nota Bene combines the world’s best vocal music with a theatrical twist. Its singers include many former members of the New Zealand National Youth Choir as well as current members of the Voices NZ Chamber Choir.
