Chamber Music New Zealand Presents Dutch Reed Quintet Calefax

Chamber Music New Zealand

"Five extremely gifted Dutch gents who almost made the reed quintet seem the best musical format on the planet.” (The Times)

Acclaimed for virtuosic playing, brilliant arrangements, and innovative stage presentation, Calefax is a classical ensemble with a pop mentality.

The programme features a blend of classical compositions that will transport you through time and across cultures. From the intricate harmonies of Bach’s Baroque masterpiece to Schubert’s Romantic lyricism, and the jazzy rhythms of Gershwin’s iconic ‘An American in Paris’. Calefax, hailing from the Netherlands, are thrilled to be performing the world premiere of a newly CMNZ-commissioned work from award-winning New Zealand composer Rosie Langabeer.

Don't miss Calefax in Christchurch: Wednesday 25 September - 7.30pm at the @piano

Unwanted wool packing sheets

Richard from Rangiora

Hi, does anyone have spare wool packing sheets they'd like me to take off their hands? The sheets I'm familiar with are 50-100 cm long, 20-30 cm wide and about 1/2 a cm thick. Bigger sheets will also be fine. I'm happy to pop around and take them off your hands.
Thanks
