Jacquin Trio concert
The Chamber Gallery in the Rangiora library is a beautiful venue for the Waimakariri Community Arts Council's final week night concert of the year, and it’s going to be amazing.
This London based trio who are noted for their fun, passionate and energetic performances will thrill you with music by Mozart and Schumann, Max Bruch, a piece written just for them by Charlotte Bray AND a wonderful piece by New Zealander Gillian Whitehead!
I think these three women are absolute live wires! Here is a quote that says it all, “.. they roared through it in a way that was intoxicating for the audience… They are marvellous performers.” Strings Attached Music.
WEDNESDAY 9th October
Chamber Gallery
Rangiora Library
7.30pm
Adults $30
Students $15
Tickets are available from the library beforehand or you may let us know and we will have one waiting for you at the front table.
Be there or miss out? I’d rather be there! Ka kite!

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
