Free Family Concert

Ann from Warkworth

Leys Orchestra

Family Concert

Sunday 13th June 3:00pm

Warkworth Town Hall
2 Alnwick Street, Warkworth
free admission

Leys Orchestra returns to Warkworth with a programme headlined with the beautiful Concertante for Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn and Orchestra second movement by Bernhard Henrik Crusell.

We are proud to perform Pohutukawa, a new work by well-known NZ composer David Hamilton (a former conductor of the orchestra), which we premiered at last year's Auckland Heritage Festival. This evocative work was written specially for and dedicated to Leys Orchestra. The concert also features the languid second movement from Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A.

• 'Idyll' and 'Danse Villageoise' from Suite Pastoral by Emmanuel Chabrier

• 'Ricercar' by Andrea Gabrieli

• ‘Fanfare’ by Claudio Monteverdi

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
