When Friday 22, Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 April, 2016 Duration 20 minutes COMPOSER’S INTRODUCTION – JOHN PSATHAS Why musicians travelling in the footsteps of soldiers 100 years ago? If we could go back in time and say to those on the battlefields “guess what happens here in 100 years” – would they believe us? If we said the same thing to those fighting now, would they believe us? Would we believe ourselves? We now wage war on our own species. But even at our worst, humanity and empathy continue to survive. Our story culminates in acts of kindness: soldiers from opposing sides, ‘enemies’, offering each other water, a cigarette, a shoulder to lean on. Even – incredibly – in what is surely one of the most bizarre and dangerous inventions of the human mind: a place called no man’s land.

  • November 2014
    Share This: November 2014 Notes from the Director Greetings from Brandeis and the beautiful days of autumn in New England. It’s been a very full summer, highlighted by the Coming soon: Acting Together published International Peace Research Association (IPRA) conference in online with Alexander Street Press - Human Rights Studies Online collection Istanbul. Arts and Peace Commission meetings were robust, with presenters from every continent, practitioners in theatre and music especially well represented. A section of this newsletter is devoted to impressions from several presenters, in hopes of making the IPRA conversations accessible to those who were unable to attend. My own reflections are here. Before Istanbul, I spent a few days at La MaMa’s retreat for theatre artists in Umbria, Italy, engaging in conversation with participants in Catherine Filloux’s workshop for playwrights. New Minor at Brandeis: Creativity, the Also this summer, we made plans for Acting Together resources – including e- Arts, and Social Transformation book versions of the anthologies – to be available to university libraries through Alexander Street Press, an online publisher, in their Human Rights Studies collection. Users of the e-books will be able to follow links to clips of performances described in many of the chapters. We hope this makes the Acting Together resources even more dynamic and extends the reach of the stories the project’s exemplary artist-peacebuilders. A new undergraduate minor in Creativity, the Arts and Social Transformation goes live this year. We’d be delighted to confer with colleagues at other colleges and universities who might like to build support for similar programs at their institutions.

  • A Brief History
    A BRIEF HISTORY Seven decades of entertaining New Zealanders Orpheus had its genesis in the founding of The Hutt Valley Music Society in 1947, and under the direction of Malcolm Rickard was officially named The Hutt Valley Orpheus Society in 1952. The first concerts took place in the Hutt Valley High School Hall, with a mainly English repertoire. Performances of the Messiah became an annual event and the Alex Lindsay String Orchestra accompanied the concerts in a relationship which was to last until the early 70s. In 1958, concerts with the National Orchestra (now NZSO) under the baton of John Hopkins, became a regular part of the Choir’s schedule. 1959 saw Orpheus record the Berlioz Childhood of Christ, and perform Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony, followed by Verdi’s Requiem in 1965, and Beethoven’s 9th Symphony in 1967. The words ‘Lower Hutt’ were dropped from our name in 1962 as more and more concerts were performed in the city. In 1985, we became known as the Orpheus Choir of Wellington. Peter Godfrey ONZ took over leadership of the Choir following Malcolm Rickard’s retirement in 1983. He continued to broaden our repertoire. Major works introduced during Peter’s tenure included Elgar’s The Music Makers, Hymnus Paradisi by Howells, Handel’s Israel in Egypt, and the Berlioz Requiem. Orpheus has regularly staged several of its own concerts annually, it has also enjoyed engagements with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and Orchestra Wellington. 1 Our Music Directors Since 1992, the Choir has enjoyed six Music Directors, who have all opened up new horizons for the Choir.
