Concerto Competition, Saturday 20th June, Alexandra Room, Showplace
The Taranaki Symphony Orchestra is holding a Concerto Competition for up and coming Taranaki musicians. This will be in the Alexandra Room at the TSB Showplace, this Saturday 20th June. Admission is only $10. This is the first public event in the Showplace since we have entered COVID level1. This competition is held every two years.
There will be a total of 17 competitors performing a movement from piano, violin or flute concertos, and a singer singing an aria. This is a wonderful opportunity to come along and listen to some of our amazing musical talent.
There are 3 separate classes at these times
Junior (under 13 yrs) : 09:00 to 10:15
Intermediate (13 yrs) : 10:15 to 12:00
Senior (over 13 yrs) : 12:45 to 15:15
The Orchestra will choose a number of these competitors to then perform with the Orchestra at a Student Stars concert that is currently scheduled for the middle of August 2020.

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
