Festivals like ours are a catalyst for change creating opportunities for artists to communicate with audiences and audiences to respond to artists’ work. Throughout the Festival you will find small threads that deal with our world today. We hope that the work in the Festival can make you think, laugh, scream a little and perhaps even cry. It has been a long journey for the opera The Bone Feeder to get from an idea to the stage. A number of years ago I saw Renee Liang’s play. I liked the surreal nature of it and thought it would make an interesting opera with its story in different worlds. I approached Renee, and was delighted she agreed to consider writing the libretto, which is an enormous step for a playwright.

    MUSIC CHANGES LIVES turnupthemusic.co.nz THANK YOU TO OUR DONORS, SPONSORS AND SUPPORTERS Turn Up the Music received its charitable status in March of this year. The first meeting of the establishment group of trustees took place in November 2018. A lot has happened in a short space of time. This is due in no small part to the work of Jillian Jardine, who pulled together a group of people with a common vision and purpose to improve lives of people in our community through music, using the Lakes Community Music School as its cornerstone. Emma Wilson and Alison Price established the Lakes Community Music School five years ago to provide after-school music tuition to the young people of our community. Eliott Allemand, who is playing for us tonight, is an example of the Music School’s impact, and its potential impact in the years to come with more support. The Lakes Community Music School is now the Turn Up the Music School. The start of Term Two marks the launch an expanded range of services through the Music School. Young people now have the opportunity to join junior orchestras, concert bands, choirs, a small hands recorder group and attend band mentoring workshops. It also marks the start of Turn Up the Music’s outreach programme in local primary schools and first concert event. Yesterday, Benjamin Baker, Justine Cormack, Gillian Ansell, and Alexander Hersh performed in local primary schools; tonight, they perform for us as part of the launch of an exciting new initiative, Chamber Music at the World’s Edge.

  • A Marriage of Convenience? Review by Moana Nepia
    A marriage of convenience? Review by Moana Nepia The Wedding, Royal New Zea- The red carpet was laid out for the opening night of The Wedding. Television land Ballet National Tour. Pre- cameras rolled on writer, Witi Ihimaera, as he shared a few last thoughts before miere performance Aotea Cen- tre, Auckland, March 1 2006 curtain up. Promises of strip dancing and all male shower scenes – on stage with the Royal New Zealand Ballet - had already sent ripples of anticipation throughout the land. Bums on stage generally mean bums on seats, and this opening night looked like a sell-out. Just as well. An investment of $1.7 million meant this was the most expensive production ever mounted by the Royal New Zealand Ballet. As composer, Gareth Farr, acknowledged, “If we don’t get the sales and nobody wants to go, no one’s going to want to do it again” (Watkin, 2006: 17). Ihimaera approached the company fi ve years ago with an idea for a love story set amidst the multi-cultural reality of contemporary New Zealand, “a new society on the brink of transformation” (Ihimaera in conversation with the author, 1 July 2006). Artistic Director, Gary Harris, and Company Manager, Sue Paterson, were enthusiastic. They brought together part Fijian, ex-pat choreographer, now director of London’s Rambert Dance Company, Mark Baldwin, director/dramaturg, Raymond Hawthorne, Gareth Farr, and designer, Tracy Grant, to form, what Tim Watkin described in the weekly New Zealand Listener as, the “dream team” (2006: 15). On all fronts, expectations for this production were understandably high, especially given Ihimaera’s stellar literary career, and award winning success with the fi lm, The Whale Rider (2003).

The original composition, for piano trio and taonga puoro player, features a group of traditional M āori instruments called the Pūmotomoto - instruments characterised by having only one finger hole resulting in a pitch range that is much more limited than other M āori wind instruments such as the Koauau and Pūtorino . The Pūmotomoto playing technique includes manipulation of embouchure (mouth position) to create edge tones, high harmonics, and bending of pitches. For this performance, the work has been expanded to involve a second taonga puoro player incorporating a wider variety of taonga puoro that evoke other aspects and characters within the mythology of Nga Kete e Toru.

  • 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.
