Tomas Hurnik – Baroque Cello

Concert to raise funds for string instrument ensemble

The Baroque Community and Educational Trust of New Zealand is on a mission to build a collection of period instruments for students. Tomas Hurnik, a foremost cellist from Europe, now based in Christchurch, will be performing a Solo Baroque Cello Concert Tour featuring Bach and other baroque gems on a tour of the South Island including Wanaka. The profits from the concerts will go directly to raise funds for 14 string instruments to create a small string chamber ensemble.

For 5 years, the Baroque Community and Educational Trust of New Zealand has cooperated with the University of Canterbury with educating, training and providing performance opportunities for young talented NZ musicians. The aim of this project is to deepen this educational experience by allowing the students to rehearse and perform on period instruments so that they can more authentically explore the roots of western music.

So come and enjoy a beautiful concert and at the same time support young talented New Zealand musicians!

WHEN: Monday, 6 March at 7.00pm

WHERE: Rippon Vineyard, Wanaka

Tickets: www.baroquemusic.co.nz/events

Ticket price: Adult $45, Senior $35, Student $20, Child (under 12) $5

The CReW autumn kindling fundraiser

Kindling that will warm your heart as well as your toes.

Cat Rescue Wanaka welcomes Autumn and are excited to be kicking off their first fundraiser for the year, The CReW Autumn Kindling Fundraiser!

The CRW volunteers (aka “the CReW”) are passionate about the kindling for two reasons: one - it is an environmental resource which would otherwise be wasted (and they hate waste!); and two - it generates much needed funds, with veterinary related bills in the order of $2,000/month.

The CReW have been out harvesting slash from felled trees and sorting and splitting it into banana boxes so it’s ready to go. Boxes weigh a minimum 6kg. They cost $10/box or buy five get one free.

For orders and enquiries contact Rachelcatrescuewanaka@gmail.com or phone/text on 021 1029 130. Deposits and donations can be made into the Cat Rescue Wanaka account: 38-9019-0780490-00 ref: kindling / donation. Donations over $5 are tax deductible. March is also The CReW’s busiest time of year, with an average intake of 18 stray kittens. If anyone interested in fostering or adopting, they can also use the above details to get in touch.

We are grateful to The Lion Foundation for supporting Our Place’s showcase for this year’s A&P Show. Furthermore, to our amazing volunteers, who donate their time and energy to help out behind the scenes.

The groups involved in Our Place include WAI Wānaka, Te Kākano Aotearoa Trust, Grow Wānaka, Wao Aotearoa, Protect Our Winters Aotearoa, Wānaka Backyard Trapping, Kiwi Conservation Club/Forest & Bird, Mount Aspiring College (Te Kura o Tititea), Southern Lakes Sanctuary, Wānaka Community Workshop/Fabricate, The Touchstone Project, Kahu Youth and The Lake Wānaka Grebes. We look forward to sharing a fun couple of days with all of those attending the show and can’t wait to see you there!
