Presented in the intimate surrounds of The Neilson by the harbour, this program invites audiences to experience the year’s cycle through music of warmth, reflection and joy.

Led by Naomi Crellin and Nick Begbie of the award-winning a cappella ensemble The Idea of North, the Choir joins forces with a superb jazz trio to explore the shifting moods of nature and time.
 
Benjamin Britten’s radiant The Succession of the Four Sweet Months and Morten Lauridsen’s evocative Mid-Winter Songs capture the poetry of the natural world in timeless choral writing. These are paired with imaginative arrangements of beloved favourites, including the Beatles’ Here Comes the Sun, Gershwin’s Summertime from Porgy and Bess, and the jazz classic Autumn Leaves, made famous by Nat King Cole.
 
Blending elegance, swing and lyrical beauty, Time & Tide offers a captivating evening where genres meet, voices shimmer, and the turning of the year is celebrated in music of light, colour and grace.
