1989, Maunder's Olivet to Calvary (with audio files)

Maunder's Olivet to Calvary

Olivet to Calvary rehearsals were well under way, with Mavis conducting. The Palm Sunday performance would be at Diamond Creek Uniting Church, and a second performance at Eltham Uniting Church would form part of their Holy Week Services. Soloists for this cantata were Jenni Williams, Marilyn Billing, Graham Ford, Robert Alves, Allan Luke, Paul Clements and Peter Thomas. The performances were well attended and both churches appreciated our efforts.

These history notes have been kindly provided by our long-term artistic director and co-founder, Graham Ford.

The recordings linked below were recorded by Graham Ford. The names of soloists appear before the title.
