Sounds of the Sacred 2023: A free Interfaith Concert
Music lovers! – you’re invited to a free, informal interfaith concert, 7pm, May 22nd, a Monday evening at the Fickling Centre in Three Kings, Mt Eden.
A number of interfaith music groups will share their music on stage in the Hillsborough Room, following the popularity and successes of our larger interfaith and cultural concerts in earlier years.
Some six different groups from Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Hare Krishna and Jewish traditions are so far participating, with more expected.
The evening will provide an opportunity to experience the music of different cultures, forge new friendships and to reconnect with old friends after a couple of challenging years.
We’ll have a wide selection of vegetarian snacks and refreshments post-concert.
Admission is entirely free. Let us know if you’re coming by responding on the contact page below, so we can ensure adequate seating is available.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
