Love Sacred, Love Profane - Howick

With the coming of spring, Auckland Youth Choir turns to the eternal theme of love and its meanings, as expressed in the musical canon.

Looking at the way the old masters have treated the theme of love, we have discovered it in sacred and secular settings which allow us to explore the dualism of the Sacred and the Profane.

The theme is not new - like Yin and Yang, one does not and cannot exist without the other.

This poses the inevitable question – is love sacred or profane? How does love exist in these dimensions?

We look to solve this dilemma with music ranging from Renaissance to 20th Century Jazz. Come along and help us as we look for the right answers.
