To start your journey, TinyKwyre (Palmerston North) brings a short programme of multicultural wonders. We’ll switch gears, and incidentally genders, to bring the fantastic Harbour Capital Chorus to the stage. They will deliver you songs of wondrous destinations and how to get there! Then the hilarious “Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants” (10dd for short) will take to the stage and bring you tales of many countries (well, at least most of the songs have countries in the title!)

Book with iTicket or Hannah Playhouse box office https://www.iticket.co.nz/events/2019/nov/destination-everywhere

Here’s what was said about the first season:

“A brilliantly funny show featuring great female voices, soaring harmonies and much laughter … all neatly contained in pop acapella!” (Someone’s mum)

Songs from around the world (well at least with countries in the titles… ) like Don’t Cry For Me Argentina, Land Down Under, Walk Like an Egyptian. We’ll deliver them to you with clever arrangements, great voices, talent, humour, a little reverence… but no instruments – just vocals and props. Think Barden Bella’s (from the movie Pitch Perfect) meet Feisty Chickens.

Come along for a rollicking trip, carried on a tide of acapella pop and harmony!

A 100-strong cast of everyday Aucklanders will be split into three generational singing groups – under 30s, 30-60s and over 60s – and will express what they really think of each other – through song.

After premiering at Wellington Cathedral in 2014 the show has had immensely successful seasons in Wanaka, Nelson and the Wairarapa. This year it’s coming to Auckland, and you don’t want to miss out

TECTONIC IMPACT

NZTrio’s 2019 series is all Empires and Superpowers – the fundamental forces that shape our land, our population, our society. In this 250th anniversary of first encounters between Māori and European, the Tectonic series focuses on immigration and colonisation in our land. Each concert charts a musical course from Captain Cook’s homeland in old England, to the sounds of Aotearoa prior to his arrival on these shores. We examine this European genre, piano trio music, as it has developed within Aotearoa’s unique culturally intertwined society, and compare with the result of development within a British environment.

Then we direct our searchlight at old Cold War Superpowers and the struggle for supremacy. Towering masterpieces from USA and Russia/USSR loom menacingly in an icy standoff.

Frank Bridge (UK): Saltarello
Martin Lodge (NZ): (new work)
Frank Bridge (UK): Intermezzo
Ross Harris (NZ): Senryu
Rebecca Clarke (UK): Piano Trio
Alfred Schnittke (USSR): Trio
Daniel Schnyder (USA): Piano Trio

Approx. 90 mins plus interval followed by complimentary drinks and nibbles.
