  • Toi Tangata | Arts Update
    TOI TANGATA | ARTS UPDATE 22 February 2019 News UC Arts at the Arts Centre School of Music The School of Music concert programme kicked off with a bang on Monday night. The first New Music Central for the year featured UC alumni Tim Sellars and his band Mukhlisa. It was a great way to start the year and the audience certainly appreciated the concert. Next week’s New Music Central will feature Norman Meehan, Hannah Griffin and Hayden Chisholm. For their performance the trio will present poems by four notable New Zealand women poets as song. The concert starts at 7pm at the UC Arts City location, you can find out more here. On Friday we will host our Friday Lunchtime Concert, a concert of UC Staff and students. We’d love to see you here for the first one of the year! We were delighted to see Paul Ellis being announced as a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) in the New Year Honours List. Paul has been tutoring our Organ student Daniel Cooper for the past four years, and has been an active member of our Music Performance staff. He has been recognised for his contributions to Church Music in New Zealand and Australia, his work as a choral conductor, organist, teacher, director of music, and for his musical leadership over more than 50 years. In December last year, a former flute student of the School of Music, Isabella Gregory, made it through to the finals of the National Concerto Competition, held in March. Good luck Isabella! The School of Music was saddened to hear of the passing of Ian Dando last month, at the age of 84.
