Nelson Civic Choir with Music and Artistic Director Jason Balla present the annual ‘Joy to the World’ programme to kick-off the festive Christmas holiday season with two concerts at the Nelson Cathedral on Friday November 29th at 7pm and Saturday November 30th at 2pm. This year’s programme features music by five New Zealand composers, a selection of traditional carols and some vocal and organ solos designed to raise the cathedral roof and inject some festive spirit into the lives of Nelsonians young and old.
