Little Symphony Sax Quartet at Inverlochy Art School!

Cheryl Corrado from Inverlochy Art School

Little Symphony Sax Quartet is back at Inverlochy House looking to once again get the lovely art filled walls there resonating beautifully with warm, sonorous sounds.

Their pot-pourri of saxophones, clarinets, bassoon and trombone will take a collective stroll through jazz tinged original compositions that have been inspired by such life experiences as low level synaesthesia, the film Blazing Saddles and meditation. Their set will be finished off with a new game of theirs called “Guess that Toon!”, where the modern day obsession of covering old material is turned somewhat on its head.

Join Little Symphony at Inverlochy House on Sunday 25th of August, they never disappoint!

Little Symphony Sax Quartet is:

Oscar Laven – Tenor Sax/Bassoon
Andre Paris – Alto Sax/Clarinet

Kaito Walley – Trombone

Blair Latham – Tenor Sax/Bass Clarinet

Solve This Riddle or Be Left Scratching Your Head!

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

With pointed fangs, I sit and wait;
with piercing force, I crunch out fate.
I grab victims, proclaiming might,
and physically join with a single bite.
What am I?

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day

Olivia from Volunteer Wellington

We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.

It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.

Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.

Amazing catering provided by Blue Carrot
