Reminiscence - Charity Concert in aid of Ukraine - this Saturday
Hi Neighbours
You are warmly invited to a charity concert in aid of Ukraine this Saturday 10 December at 7.30pm at The Community of St Luke, 130 Remuera Road.
Music composed and performed by Global Music Award winner Sergiy Klymchuk.
Originally from Odessa, Ukraine, Sergiy has been living in New Zealand since 1996. He is Associate Professor of Mathematics at Auckland University of Technology. Sergiy has been composing music for many years, but it has been reserved for his family and close friends. With their encouragement he finally decided to get his music professionally arranged and published. Sergiy’s first CD album of original light instrumental music was released in August this year.
Five tracks from the album received awards at the 2022 Global Music Awards Competition (January and July Rounds) in the “Composer” category – three silver and two bronze medals: www.globalmusicawards.com......
The genres of Sergiy’s music are very diverse – from relaxing themes to dynamic jazz with love songs in between. His inspiration comes from the beauty of nature, touching relationships, morning dreams and, surprisingly, in some cases, from the energy of a hard day at work.
Sergiy is a member of the Composers Association of New Zealand and Screen Music & Sound Guild of New Zealand.
After the concert, signed copies of the limited edition of Sergiy’s CD are available for sale. All proceeds from CD sales and all donations will go to the Red Cross Ukrainian Appeal. Suggested donation: $20

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