The Three Altos - A Viola Spectacular

New Zealand Symphony Orchestra

An evening of sublime music featuring three top international soloists. Russian-Italian violist extraordinaire, Anna Serova, will perform Boris Pigovat's exquisite "Poem of Dawn" and the world premiere of Roberto Molinelli's extraordinary "Lady Walton's Garden", rich with Argentinean flavour, rhythms and excitement - don't be surprised if it breaks into some tango dancing - anything is possible!

Roger Myers (USA) opens the programme with Schumann's enchanting "Fairy Tale Pictures" and Roger Benedict (Australia) closes with Walton’s viola concerto. In collaboration with our incredible NZSO this promises to be an unforgettable event and a New Zealand cultural highlight of the year.

Michael Fowler Centre 7.30pm, September 4, 2017.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
