Lunchtime Concert at St Andrew's on the Terrace, Wednesday, 23 October, 12.15pm
Katrin Eickhorst, recorders, and Michael Stewart, organ and harpsichord, present solo and chamber music works from the Renaissance and the Baroque, including works by Fontana, van Eyck (Staeps), Frescobaldi and Telemann.
The highlight of the programme is Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach’s Sonata in g minor for flute or violine and obligato harpsichord. One of the gems of 18th century literature, it was attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach as his BWV 1020. But recent research suggests it to be a work of Johann Sebastian’s son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
