We are excited that acclaimed pianist, Katherine Austin, will be playing the premiere of A Walk in Hamilton Gardens next week!
Written especially for her by composer Janet Jennings, Katherine will take you through a musical interpretation of these wonderful and varied gardens in this one-only performance at the Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival.

Pianist of the Tennant-Austin Duo for the past 23 years, her work with the New Zealand Chamber Soloists now occupies a large portion of her performing and concert life, with regular tours to Europe, UK, Asia, North and South America, and Australia.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
