Midwinter Melodies: A Baroque Parlour Concert at Alberton.
Experience the ambiance of the ballroom at historic Alberton filled with music in this intimate Sunday evening at the homestead!
Following a sold out performance last year, players from NZ Barok - New Zealand’s only period instrument orchestra - return for this light-hearted one hour concert, presenting an assortment of Baroque musical gems with a touch of history.
Musicians Miranda Hutton, Janne Ensor, Wen Chuan Lin and Helen Brinkman will be joined by special guest soprano Rowena Simpson. Rowena studied baroque singing in the Netherlands after graduating in musicology at the NZ School of Music. She worked with early music ensembles in Europe for six years before returning to Wellington where she enjoys a career performing as a soloist and ensemble singer. The concert will feature a sumptuous selection of music including Handel, Purcell, Rogr, Monteclair, Rameau, Vivaldi and Scarlatti.
Tickets include drinks & canapes served from 4pm and entry to explore the house.
Sunday 18 August, 4:30pm. Tickets: adult $30, senior/student $26. BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL. To book contact Alberton at alberton@heritage.org.nz or (09) 8567367

AWESOME parenting
Who raised this delinquent? Him and his mate were on great north road soliciting a homeless woman to go buy them vapes from crescent dairy.
The woman did it for them. Just a reminder that if they get caught, they are implementing a woman that would otherwise have been completely innocent if those 2 weren't so desperate for a vape
