"Music that touches the soul" is the motto of Bach Musica NZ, whose mission is to add value to people's lives through the all-embracing language of music.

The ensemble consists of a 40 voice choir and a professional orchestra dedicated to performing a wide range of music from classical (Baroque to 21 Century) to jazz under their Music Director Rita Paczian.

A sense of seasonal celebration was assured in the blaze of Bach's final chorus, with three trumpets in brilliant counterpoint against the choristers' exultant chorale
