Lunchtime Concert, The Taranaki Singing Venture
The regular lunchtime winter series of concerts at the Methodist Centre is starting again next Wednesday May 7th at 12.15pm, with 26 more concerts scheduled for 2025.
The first concert features the Taranaki Singing Venture (TSV) who have been singing together for five years. It was started jointly by Julian Raphael and Laura Durville and they both share a passion for teaching and leading songs in four-part harmony. The group will be singing songs from South Africa, USA, Samoa, Australia and Aotearoa. The TSV enjoys a participatory approach to choral singing and will invite the audience to join along with some of the songs. Come and be transported for half an hour over lunchtime. Koha appreciated.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
