NZSM Dawn Chorus–November 2016
We've got lots of exciting things happening in November so it's a good chance to catch a few events before we head into the quieter summer months. Thanks to all those who have recently filled out our events survey—if you haven't already done so and would like to give us some feedback, here is the link again.
Special invitation to No Man's Land screening
The Hellenic New Zealand Congress, in partnership with Victoria University of Wellington and Te Kōkī New Zealand School of Music, warmly invite you to a film screening of acclaimed composer John Psathas’s new work No Man’s Land.
This is a breathtaking composition, which premiered at the 2016 New Zealand Festival
and combines filmed landscapes, music and performers from the countries involved
in World War I. The composition’s intention is to show that collaboration, once unthinkable during war, is not only possible but produces extraordinary results.
If you did not get to see No Man’s Land at the Festival, this is an unmissable opportunity to see an exciting and very relevant new work introduced by the composer.
Date: Friday 18 November 2016 at 7pm
Venue: Memorial Theatre, Student Union Building, Gate 3, Victoria University
Entry: By koha
RSVP: Email anthe.frykberg@onslow.school.nz or phone 04-475 5905 by Friday 11 November

Bruce Brown album launch Thursday November 10, 7:00pm Bruce Brown, originally from LA, USA, established himself as a highly regarded pianist, singer, and songwriter performing at all the major jazz clubs in Southern California. His songs have been described as 'original standards' and reflect his love of the great American songbook. Holding all the lyrics in place is a beautiful, almost invisible architecture. His words flow in careful trickles, clever bursts and soulful yearns. His melodies dance and float over chord changes that provide daring colouration. As a performer, Bruce's easygoing spontaneity establishes a natural rapport, always leaving his audience wanting more. |

Support the musicians, composers and scholars of the future For some of New Zealand's most talented musicians, the only thing that stands in the way of their dreams is the lack of funds to make them real. By making a lifetime donation or a gift in your will to the New Zealand School of Music, you can help young musicians to fulfil their ambitions.
