NZTrio performs Constellations at Mairangi Arts Centre Dec 10

Su from Browns Bay

Amalia Hall (violin), Ashley Brown (cello), and Somi Kim (piano) - three of New Zealand's hottest classical musicians are returning to the Shore Dec 10th, 7pm for an intimate concert followed by their usual manaakitanga - complimentary refreshments with the audience following the performance. Join us for some music at its most powerful - Mairangi Arts Centre 20 Hastings Rd., Mairangi Bay. Tickets via Eventfinda or visit nztrio.com/event-directory.

Beethoven: Piano Trio No. 1*
Saariaho: Light and Matter
Margetić: Lightbox
Korngold: Piano Trio
*

Constellations opens where it all began: Beethoven’s seminal Opus 1 No 1. Then our focus branches out to the Finnish-German-French influence in Kaija Saariaho’s spectral masterpiece Light and Sound. Staying in the brightest light, we experience the delightful return of the prizewinning Lightbox by New Zealander Karlo Margetić. The light then projects onto the silver screen in the Piano Trio by Erich Korngold, a work that bears all the hallmarks of his Austro-Hungarian upbringing, WW2-era immigration into America, and film-music career.

Duration 1 hour, no interval (*first mvmts only)

Full 1.5 hour plus interval performance Dec 11, 8pm at Auckland Town Hall Concert Chamber - special price of $35 to attend both. Email Jessica Duirs at manager@nztrio.com for booking instructions.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
