The blending of voices was superb.
These are young singers to watch out for, having all but scooped the pool with honours and awards.
Chorale are to be congratulated for encouraging their professional careers.
Shelter me, the way ahead is dark, by illustrious American composer Fr Michael Joncas - a prayer song in the time of Covid-19 - was added to the choir's repertoire.
The choir and conductor Anne Marie Stapp's emotional involvement in the message and the music brought tears to audience eyes.
It was accompanied by the exquisite flute playing of choir member Bronwyn Parker.
Gounod's Messe Solenelle de Sainte-Cecile showed the choir in its full glory. The glorious phrasing and tones would have done honour to any 15th century cathedral - the lovely melodies and harmonies, the drama.
From the gentle Kyrie to the moving build-up to the Credo and the Sanctus, the sheer joy of the Resurrexit, the choir were inspired by conductor Eric's balletic and subtle direction, with the three soloists adding texture and beauty.
All were ably supported by internationally famed organist Martin Setchell and pianist Phillip O'Malley.
The collegiality of the choir shines through - their excellent training, honour and courtesy to the conductor and love of music.
It is all of this which brings the audience back time and time again to support the chorale, a treasure on the Kāpiti Coast.
May 2021 be a calmer year and bring us more of the beautiful music for which you are known.
