A MULLED WINE CONCERTS PRESENTATION
On Sunday 27 June the beautiful beachfront Memorial Hall in Paekakariki will feature two performers who can truly be described as playing at the highest level of chamber music.
RNZ Concert has recently featured violinist Andrew Beer and pianist Sarah Watkins - Kapiti concertgoers will have the opportunity to hear them live as part of the Mulled Wine Concert series.
Canadian-born Andrew Beer (violin) has been described as a “musical gift” (NY Times) with a “glorious string tone” (Strad magazine). Having performed extensively throughout North America, Europe, Asia and Australasia as soloist, chamber musician and orchestral leader, Andrew has served as Concertmaster of the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra since 2014, and has performed as guest Concertmaster with the CBSO (Birmingham), Hallé (Manchester), MSO (Melbourne), ASO (Adelaide), VSO (Vancouver) and NZSO (Wellington). He will be accompanied by pianist Sarah Watkins, herself no stranger to Paekakariki - this will be her fifth appearance!
Sarah’s passion for accompanying and chamber music has led to an impressive career as a performer and recording artist. A graduate of the University of Canterbury (NZ), Sarah went on to earn both MM and DMA degrees from the Juilliard School (NY - USA). She has played as a founding member of the renowned NZTrio for 16 years and now enjoys a wide variety of collaborations with musicians all over New Zealand. She has been an official pianist for the Michael Hill International Violin Competition since its inception in 2001 and the Gisborne International Music Competition since 2008, and regularly appears as a freelance player in the APO.
Together, Andrew and Sarah were awarded the prize for Best Classical Artists at the 2020NZ Music Awards for their album "11 Frames" Their programme in Paekakariki will include Mozart's Sonata in A major and Cesar Franck's Sonata for violin and piano, two giants of the violin and piano repertoire. They will also feature pieces by New Zealander Gillian Whitehead and Florence Price, a wonderful African American composer from the 1920's who is starting to get a lot more airplay.
Kapiti's discerning concert audiences will need no persuading to hear this superb duo in action!

Neil has been Akatārawa Cemetery’s Sexton for 42 years and despite being past retirement, is still committed to caring and maintaining the grounds.
Neil’s nominator said that he has poured his heart and soul into the cemetery, owned by Upper Hutt City Council, and has shown excellent initiative when it comes to cemetery operation.
“[Neil] is personable and knows the community well. He knows many visitors by name and is always happy to talk and support them in their time of grief. Neil has incredible commitment to the industry by his length of service and good work ethic.”
The awards were held as part of the national New Zealand Cemeteries & Crematoria Conference in Rotorua.

At just three months old, Piglet was covered in one of the worst cases of mange the SPCA vets had seen.
Piglet’s skin was red, raw and weeping. Mange is a debilitating skin disease caused by parasitic mites. Left untreated like this, it is horrific and extremely painful.
Found wandering the streets alone, the disease had ravaged Piglet's skin, and she was in significant pain and discomfort.
Her medication is expensive and SPCA vets say she will need a lot of care.
This weeks contribution comes from Louise Thomas.
"Is that a little blue sky this afternoon? I feel like a mole rat emerging after a week in the burrow. This grey warbler/riroriro (Gerygone igata) seems pretty happy to see the sun. He's posing in a cedar tree for Christmas cards."
Yes it’s old but still works well perfect for second fridge some of the shelving isn’t as good as it used to be
