Chamber Music National Finals

Craig from Tawa

Come and hear the eight best groups in NZ – tomorrow night, Friday 2nd August, in the Michael Fowler Centre, from 6:30pm. You won't believe these are school-aged students playing!

This includes the Virtuoso Strings Octet, with a piece I wrote for them to play in the Contest! Students are from Tawa and Porirua. This is the fifth time a group from Virtuoso Strings has been in the National Finals of the NZCT Chamber Music Contest.

Tickets are free, but must be booked: www.universe.com...

It is also live-streamed: www.chambermusic.co.nz...

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz
