The Tsunami Violin Concert Tour, arriving in Christchurch!
DATE : 12th of September 2017
VENUE : Christchurch Transitional Cathedral
TICKET : Child $10 / Student $15 / Adult $25

The project - Bonds made of a Thousand Tones.
New Zealand born and raised violin & piano duo - Isomura Brothers have been given the greatest privilege to perform on this special instrument for the first time in New Zealand.

Tsunami Violin - The Symbol of Hope.
On the 11th of March 2011, a disastrous earthquake and tsunami hit the Tohoku region in Japan. More than 1,700 people died in Rikuzentakata. But for the survivors, a lone miracle pine stands tall as a symbol of hope and strength and now travels the world as a part of a musical instrument.
The miracle pine is known as the "kiseki no ipponmatsu" was the only one that survived the tsunami out of the 70,000 trees that once stood on the coast of Rikuzentakata town. A violin craftsman based in Tokyo, Muneyuki Nakazawa, was granted a special permission to use a small amount of the miracle pine to create the sound post, and driftwood gathered from the coast after the tsunami to make the body of the violin. It was made in remembrance of the deceased and with the aspiration of hope to the survivors of the devastating tragedy.

This is a charity concert - all profit will go towards victims of the 2011 Tohoku Japan Earthquake & Tsunami and the Christchurch Earthquake.
(Supported by the Japanese Society of Canterbury)

Have you seen this butterfly?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

New Zealand's endemic southern blue butterfly (Zizina oxleyi) is now common only in Otago and Canterbury. Small populations of the southern blue can still be found within the wide distribution of the common blue in the North Island, but their future is unclear.
