Voices in the Wind free end of year concert Wed 3 December
As 2025 draws to a close, We want to invite you to the Voices in the Wind special Christmas presentation. Being held on Wednesday evening, 3 December, we will be performing our annual Concertette at St Barnabas Church in Mana/Plimmerton. Entry fee is by Koha, the concert lasts about 45 minutes, and we share a supper together afterwards.
This year we are featuring John Rutter's Brother Heinrich's Christmas, surrounded by other beautiful music all related to angels, expanding on the story about how the familiar carol In Dulci Jubilo was created (according to legend).

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
