Highly impressive German Pianist Michael Endres has agreed to open the Mulled Wine
Concert programme this year. He performs worldwide as soloist and chamber music partner. He graduated from Juilliard School in New York and studied with Peter Feuchtwanger in London. He has won prizes such as the Concours Geza Anda (Zurich) and First & Special Prizes at the International Schubert Competition (Germany) among others. His extensive prizewinning discography of 29 CD’s includes the prestigious Diapason d’or (France) which he was recently awarded for the third time and the Choc du Musique which he has won twice.
His solo recordings include cycles of the complete sonatas by Mozart, Schubert, the complete works of Ravel and Gershwin. In the USA he is described as”one of the most interesting pianists recording today”. The New York Times wrote: ”the performances with pianist Michael Endres were revelatory” and the Gramophone Magazine stated: ”he is an
outstanding Schubert interpreter”. He has a distinguished teaching career as Professor of Piano in Berlin, University of Canterbury, and Norway.
His Kapiti programme includes:-
Schubert: Sonata in D Major Opus 53 "Gasteiner", Ravel: Jeux d'eau and Gershwin: 4 Song Transcriptions (Transcribed by Earl Wild) including "Embraceable you" and "I got Rhythm". "And there will be other treats as well!" says Mary Gow.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

OCTOBER'S WEATHER IN KĀPITI
This third spring month in Kāpiti was milder and sunnier than average, and for three weeks we also seemed to be heading for a record dry one, but rain here and over most of the country on the last week changed that.
We ended up with 110mm of rain (airport), but this was only 12mm above the historic average for this month that is frequently our wettest. Despite the rain, we had the equivalent of 15.5 sunny days, slightly above average.
Our daily average maximum temperature was 17.8, almost 0.4C above average and 0.7C above last year, and our overall mean temperature was 14.2C, 1.3C above last year, and the warmest in central New Zealand.
November could average around 20C, as it often does, so we can look forward to the possibility of enjoying our first summer month.
