Opportunity to win 2 CDs - 'Voices of Women' and 'Voices of Men'

The team from PACT (Performing Arts Community Trust)

Featuring well known and internationally recognised vocalists, these 2 CDs of new music by now Hamilton-based composer Janet Jennings are sure to delight anyone who likes opera, chamber music, or high quality music. Vocalists include Jayne Tankersley, Catrin Johnsson, Mere Boynton, Stephanie Acraman, Felicity Tomkins, James Ioelu, James Harrison and Will King. James Ioelu and James Harrison have returned to New Zealand after singing in the opera house of Europe and the UK.

Voices of Women features the words of NZ women as they tell of their struggles, experiences and humour. Voices of Men features the words of NZ men, and fittingly given it has just been released in time for ANZAC, includes 'Songs of War'.

To celebrate Mother's Day and the release of 'Voices of Men', the companion CD to 'Voices of Women', we are giving away a set of both CDs. The winner will be drawn on 8th May. You can enter at the link:

One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
