Free Concert with Jonathan Lemalu
Porirua's own Virtuoso Strings Orchestra is playing two free concerts with their Patron, Jonathan Lemalu. He is a NZ-born Samoan, and is one of the best singers that NZ has ever produced. Jonathan is joined by two young local singers: LJ Crichton and Katherine Winitana. All the music has been composed and arranged by Craig Utting to enable all the Virtuoso Strings students to join in. Will be an exciting concert!
Saturday 12th November at Aotea College's new theatre, and Sunday 13th November at St.Andrews on the Terrace in Wellington.
