Sing It To My Face is a choral composition built entirely on

perceived by one another.
Led by Jo Randerson and Julian Raphael, the volunteer local
singers will represent three different age groups – under 30, 30-60 and 60+.
The choral composition will premiere on 15 August at 7.30pm the Wellington
